After continuing to tinker with this yesterday, I realised that I made a massive mistake in my Excel sheet. For some reason, the Pokemon usages weren't taken into account at all. So the percentages given in the original post are without taking Pokemon usages into account. I profoundly apologise for this mistake.
However, looking at the bright side, this gives us an opportunity to compare the values without having a metagame with those of the metagame. And the results are quite striking.
These are the average, unstabbed, damage values that a 300 Atk and 300 SpA Pokemon would deal:

Notice how the percentages have all become drastically lower than before, showing that the metagame uses a lot of defensive Pokemon to try to circumvent the threat posed by powerful attackers.
Even more striking is the following chart, containing the average percentage values that a 300 Atk/SpA, 80-power move of the given type would deal:
Code:
Move Type Average Percentage
-------------------------------------
Physical Ice 34.81%
Special Ice 34.36%
Special Fire 32.91%
Physical Fire 32.59%
Physical Rock 32.47%
Physical Flying 32.17%
Physical Fighting 30.90%
Special Rock 30.70%
Special Flying 30.59%
Physical Electric 30.42%
Physical Dark 29.86%
Physical Water 29.11%
Special Water 28.38%
Special Electric 28.34%
Special Fighting 28.25%
Physical Ghost 28.19%
Special Dark 27.90%
Physical Dragon 27.86%
Physical Psychic 27.44%
Special Ghost 27.38%
Physical Bug 27.18%
Physical Grass 26.75%
Physical Ground 26.66%
Special Dragon 26.15%
Special Psychic 25.58%
Special Ground 25.25%
Special Bug 25.23%
Special Grass 25.18%
Physical Steel 24.71%
Special Steel 23.01%
Physical Normal 23.01%
Special Normal 21.55%
Physical Poison 21.36%
Special Poison 19.28%
We see that
Ice is the actual king, followed by Fire and then Rock. We also notice how the special types deal much lower damage than the physical types, with the exception of Fire. Also, Ghost suddenly finds itself in a mid-table position from the bottom places it was before. Water also improved slightly, and, interestingly, physical and special Water attacks deal practically the same damage, unlike most of the other types.
I apologise once again for the confusion.
In other news, yesterday (after I realised this mistake and fixing it)I developed a method of quantifying how much a Pokemon moveset covers its types using the chart above. I'll post this method when I know that it works perfectly, which should be soon.
