Fire Type and Flying Type:

Fire type attacks do double damage against Bug, Steel, Grass, and Ice.  Fire type Pokemon do not have specific terrain, so they can appear anywhere, fortunately.  Flying type attacks do double damage against Fighting, Bug, and Grass.  Flying types can be found anywhere that is exposed to the sky.  Some examples of Fire and Flying type Pokemon include Charmander, Pidgey, and Butterfree.  This would also include many other Pokemon examples including the evolutions such as Charmeleon and Charizard, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot, Metapod and Butterfree.
