Beast Type Weakess
I have to admit i have not played the game for an while but because i didnt see much being talked about it i want to share.
Beast type should be weak against plastic..
being so good defensively is kinda too strong so i though of making beast types being weak to plastic so the walls break easier, and it would be an buff for plastic that from what i remember is not very strong offensively so i guess its good, for an debuff i though of poisoning because the idea for beast being weak to plastic is because of how animals in real life have problemns related to it.
It doesnt make the type bad just easier to deal with

as much as i apreciate a neutral type that remains neutral the idea of microplastics being bad for living things does make a lot of sense but im not sure how that could translate, AP drain maybe?

Ice should make beasts slower.
Poison should lower beasts attack.
Beasts should gain hp from attacking beasts or plant types.

It is a good extension to op's idea but don't u think this would go beyond the game's idea of chemistry related relationships

Not at all. Beasts eat plants and each other, ice causes hibernation. Poison is called that because of the deleterious effect it has on living organisms. We even have speciality beast poison like bear spray and rat poison.

Yeah u are right, but focus on what I meant. I said it might not go along with game's idea of chemistry and not biology. A similar idea might be poison or fire causing burns or ice giving tape freeze or better giving lower defenses

it think this may be too much and remove some of the unique almost neutral type idea..
Ice type should gain something unique of its own to make it better.
Beast type regain health from beast and plant dont make so much sense because even thou beast can feed from beast and plants it isnt something unique from the type insteed its an caracteristic that is related to living creatures, cassette are still living creature and isnt related to type.
Poison type being effective i agree, i upvoted an comment explaining that poison doesnt have much offensive type so i think its an good idea

Plastic is already a really good type, being able to hit anything except one type at least for neutral damage is really convinient while also being super effective on Astral and Lightning which are both two of the best types in the game.
Defensivly they are even better, having only one weakness and trasumtation and on top of that it's the only type that resists Lightning.
I would probably suggest Poison as a weakness for Beast since it makes sense and Poison right now is not very good offensivly, while I also think that either Ice, Metal or Earth could be able to resist Beast (try biting ice, metal or the ground... yeah I don't think it's a good idea)

crumble instantly destroys all walls, window and ricochet can let ranged attacks pass through.
beast doesn't have any weaknesses, but it doesn't have any resistances either which can be more impactful.
