So I've noticed that, through a combination of lore, coliseum elements, and common understanding, most flights seem to have an opposite. They are as follows:
Arcane and Lightning
Nature and Plague
Light and Shadow
Wind and Earth
... But then there's Water, Ice, and Fire. You could make good arguments for either Water or Ice being Fire's opposite, but no matter what, one flight is left hanging. I am irrationally bothered by this.
Thoughts?

Actually it's more complicated than that, as an example in the Coli Light is best against Plague, though good against Shadow too. I don't see Flights as strictly opposing each others two by two but more like a wheel.

According to lore, wouldn't fire be more against... I think it was earth and water?
The first three elements weren't all that buddy buddy...

The last flight can be The Shade's opposite...? :D
Also, Fire is pretty good against plague as well as ice, which it suffers from water and earth. So, instead of it being one element against one element, it's one element is good against two and weak against two.

I see Lightning and Earth as being not friends for two reasons--one ground messes up electric current (hahahah pokemon and science???) and two, the Earthshaker seems very traditional and conservative while the Stormcatcher seems very radical and progressive. One is all "wait no but I like things how they are" and the other is all "SCIENCE CHANGE PROGRESS YES"

These aren't just based on the coliseum, by the way. I took into account the lore and common beliefs about elements (read: Pokemon). It seems to me like Arcane and Lightning have a magic versus science thing going on, Plague and Nature a death versus life thing, etc.
... But I'm probably the only one who thought of things this way. I NEED EVERYTHING TO FIT NEATLY INTO CATEGORIES, DAMMIT.

I don't feel Lightning and Arcane are opposites; if anything there is a considerable personality overlap. They take different paths to knowledge and there is friction because of it but it also means them teaming up is terrifying and plausible.

UK time. Sorry for timezone-related delays in responses. They/Them.

Morgrim Oh, I agree, there's definitely overlap--and not just with those two, but Light as well. There seem to be three knowledge-based flights, and they differ mostly in their focus. Lightning is technology/science, Arcane is magic, and Light is philosophy.
