Even though i understand what you mean, Sme types are weird such as fire because its a type that is normally defenseless. All fire type pokemon (well most) have shit Def+SpDef. Look at all the fire starters. Exception of Mega Charizard X (def) and somewhat Delphox (SpDef). Fire does have good coverage though. Ironically Ice has some of the best Def or SpDef pokemon overall! (Regice / Cloyster / Avalugg) but they cant do shit with Horrible Ice type :-/

 

Yep and yet even with those stats that don't directly correlate with typing (defenseless is exaggeration, it's good enough to tank resisted hits, and there are more exceptions like Chandelure, Rotom H, Volcarona, etc.) they're still one of the most viable types, because Fire is just that good!
