Effective attacks

Has anyone wondered why 1 attack is good against another? Like for example, why is grass good against rock? Why is ground good against rock?

Grass is good against rock/water! What are you talking about?

Okay...

Uhh...yeah. Some of the type matchups seem really strange. When it comes to ground vs. rock I always imagined earthquake as the exemplary groung move...so earthquake splits rock? All rock types were part ground then...maybe it was to give them a powerful weapon against themselves? And grass > rock? Maybe someone saw moss growing in the cracks in a rock and got the wrong idea>.<

Another possibility is they felt they needed to balance out the types and these combinations made the most sense.

Yeah, and I barely see single rock type pokes. I only know one. Regirock.

On topic now, I dunno why ground is good against fire.

For a add in I know why rock is good against flying. Cause people try to hit down birds with rocks. That's why lol. xD
