I’m asssuming youre asking about the logic behind these types? Well there is no true answer, but here are my thoughts:

Electric and Water: If you’re in water and electricity hits the water… Bad things will happen.Ground and Steel: Think of it as if the earth is reverting the steel back to its natural form. Also, theres the Nature > Man-Made Creations thing.Psychic and Poison: Think of psychic as being smart and poison as dirty tricks. Good > Evil, right?Flying and Fighting: If you can fly, you’ll usually get an advantage in fights.Fighting and Normal: A person trained for fights will be stronger than an average guy on the street. Also, they cant give the normal type too many weaknesses, it would become unbalanced.Electric and Flying: A bird struck by lightning isnt going to be very happy. You wouldnt be either if your plane was hit by lightning.Ice and Dragon: Dragons are reptiles, which are cold-blooded. In the cold, they would be struggling.

Of course, you can also just blame it on game freak logic or for the sake of having balanced types.
