The Acid type is part of the Poison type in the games, but like many of my fanmade types I've decided to split it off into its own thing. Acid covers irritating, corrosive, and caustic materials and can cling insidiously to do damage over time. They weaken the mineral types but can be diluted by water and decomposed by fire. As always, my fanmade types are not balanced for a game situation and may be subject to revision.

Acid-type
Offensive effectiveness: 2x Rock, Steel, Crystal 0.5x Fire, Water, Poison, Ground, Acid
Defensive susceptibility: 2x Fire, Water, Ground 0.5x Poison, Steel, Acid, Crystal
