I did not repeat the types we already know about their immunities. The poisoning status, Water- and Ghost-type are way too overpowered in my opinion, so I nerfed them.

I like this list.

Wait so, I'm curious as to why you made fighting immune to ghost; I know that the incentive was to nerf it but are there any other lore-based reasons as to why?

Ghost-type is immune to both Fighting- and Normal-, but the latter also has an immunity to the former. It seems right to me to give Fighting- an immunity to Ghost-, since the former basically is related to Normal-type.

Don't forget Fairy Types have Dragon immunity. Steel also had Poison immunity until Salazzle came with it's Corrosion ability

Makes sense, and I guess you could also add that "fighting types do not fear ghosts."
