I suggest a total rewrite of this section, and any other sections of type pages that are similarily full of opinion and competitive meta. Taking a look at the Dragon Type page charactarisitcs, that is exactly what this section should be like. {{unsigned|Mindlord0013}}

:I agree with your assessment of this particular section, but I disagree with your proposed solution. I'd much rather just delete the sections altogether, as they (A) attract editors who try to load them with non-neutral competitive meta and (B), if the meta is removed, don't do much except regurgitate type coverage and statistical averages, which can already be seen on the templates on the top half of the page.
:You can see this on the [[Dragon (type)]] page you just pointed out — the only fact in the entire section that isn't part of those templates is that most Dragon-types have wide movepools, which is itself vague and potentially opinionated (how wide constitutes wide enough to be worth mentioning? how many Dragon-types is enough to be worth mentioning?). I think these sections have no value that isn't already better-executed elsewhere on the page, so we should mercilessly and indiscriminately delete them.
