User blog:Niarobi (Formerly Hadou)/Pokémon Type Explanation

The purpose of this blog is to analyse and explain what each type in Pokémon consists of, for the sake of what Pokémon will get which resistances and abilities and whatnot.

Grass - This covers Plant Manipulation, Fungus Manipulation, Light Manipulation (to the Solar light extent), and just "nature energy"

Fire - Fire Manipulation, Magma Manipulation, lava, Heat Manipulation, and this seems to also cover the Sun, as with Sunny day and the fact that sunlight strengthens Fire type attacks, and Hellfire Manipulation and ghostly types of fire are also covered here

Water - Water Manipulation, and in some cases, things related to aquatic animals, such as with Octazooka, Withdraw, Razor Shell, Clamp, and Crabhammer

Electric - Electricity Manipulation, Electromagnetic waves, plasma, and ions, and it also covers ghostly types of electricity

Ground - Earth Manipulation, Sand Manipulation, Bone Manipulation, actions done to the ground, like Dig, Drill Run, or Bulldoze, energy of the land, mud, and for some reason let's just throw in horses, because High Horsepower

Rock - Rock Manipulation, sometimes sand, and sometimes light refracted through solids, as is the case with Power Gem

Flying - Flight, for the most part, Air Manipulation, wing-based and beak-based attacks, certain attacks done in the air

Dark - Darkness Manipulation, evil thoughts and evil energy, evil actions, black holes, Death Manipulation (wouldn't normally apply)

Ice - Ice Manipulation, absolute zero, general coldness

Bug - Bugs and bug-like appendages and things associated with bugs like webs

Ghost - Soul Manipulation, Curse Manipulation, more Darkness Manipulation, Fear Manipulation, Antimatter Manipulation (wouldn't normally apply), Nightmares, grudges

Dragon - Dragonic energy, things associated with dragons, dragon-like appendages, Spatial Manipulation and Time Manipulation, though these two wouldn't normally apply

Fighting Martial Arts, I guess, and Chi Manipulation

Steel - Metal Manipulation, metal attacks, and weapons made out of metal

Poison - Poison Manipulation, Acid Manipulation, smoke, gross things, venom, attacks associated with certain venomous things, like Coil, and radiation

Fairy - Cute things, moon light, Emotional Manipulation, faeries and their appendages and things associated with them, sometimes flowers, Life Manipulation, but that last one usually wouldn't apply

Bye-bye.
