Description I know how many don't like big changes in the chart's so I tried to keep it to a minimum on this one.
It's basically the gen 2 chart but STEEL is changed to IRON And Dragon is resisted by 2 additional types while not resisting Grass anymore.

Some of these most likely sound strange so I'll try to explain them

- Iron is effective against Ghosts for the same reasons as Fairy + Supernatural Logic.

- Iron is effective against Dragons because of fairy tale logic, the stereotypical Knight in Shining armor killing the dragons with a sword.


- Unlike Steel, Iron is not effective against Ice and Rock because I want those types to be more defensive and Iron isn't as tough and durable as steel.
- Unlike Steel, Iron is weak against Poison instead of being Immune. Reasoning is Corrosion and Ground was incredibly powerful offensively while Poison was the weakest. The popular reason for ground geing SE against steel was also the thing with earthquakes burrying buildings etc, well people usually dont build with iron

- Dragon is resisted by ice because ice needs some love and Dragons are legendary reptilians and reptilians don't like the cold. (Nor too hot but they are also often depicted as fire-breathers so that kind of evens out in my mind.)

- Fighting resisting Dragon most likely sound the most strange, but the idea is that fighting is like a Hero/Noble type in japan and it takes a lot of bravely to fight a dragon, and a hero is brave, just like fighting other scary stuff (dark). (They didn't need more super effectives so I made them resist instead.


I am not an expert as I rarely played competitively but as far as I understand the Steel was introduces to combat Dragon and Dark to combat Psychic. But Steel was too good and Dragon was still strong so I nerfed them. Psychic doesn't need any nerfs due to the special split and updated movepools imo but will have to test, can always make then super effective against Iron if needed (bending spoons and shit).
