Why do starters always have to be fire/ water/ grass? Aren't there another three types that can work together rock- paper- scissors style?
>>
Ice flying fighting

This doesn't work because Ice does not resist flying.
>>
>>26585155
Yeah theres a few actually

Fighting/Psychic/Dark
Rock/Fighting/Flying
Fairy/Steel/Fighting
Water/Electric/Ground

Theres still a few left that I cant think of.

It's tradition, and some traditions should be kept.

You could also go:
Steel/Fairy/Fighting
Dark/Psychic/Fighting
Fire/Steel/Rock

>It's tradition, and some traditions should be kept.
the only good tradition is adead one
>>
There's technically no other trio like W/F/G if I recall correctly, because those three resist the type they're effective against.
The other trios work on offense but not on defense.

Steel fairy fighting would be freaking cool, it kinda resembles warrior/ rogue / mage trio
>>
>>26585241
Fire/Steel/Rock and Steel/Fairy/Fighting work just fine.
>>
>>26585207
dark/psychic/fighting does not work because dark has a straight up immunity instead of a resistance
>>
>>26585200

Fighting/Dark/Psychic is not a true rock/paper/scissors due to dark being immune to psychic, not resisting it.

Neither is Water/Electric/Ground for a similar reason.
