I think Nyttyn's type chart undervalues the number of pokemon with each type in OU like how there are( eight dragons and only four grass types). Since we are trying to increase the type diversity in OU, i think using the formula (%usage of a type)*(# of type in OU) might be a bit more useful to get an idea of what types are common in OU.

Steel: 107.000*9=963.000
Water: 99,826*10=998.260
Dragon: 72.711*8=581.688
Bug: 42.024*3=126.072
Grass: 46.487*4:185.948
Psychic: 86.616*10=866.160
Flying: 81.341*9=732.069
Fire: 41.260*4=165.040
Electric:35.477*4=141.908
Rock: 26.926*2=53.852
Dark: 18.941*2=37.882
Fighting: 61.573*7:431.001
Normal:5.539*1=5.539
Poison:33.215*4=132.860
Ghost: 17.497*2=34.994
Ground: 64.142*9= 577.278
Ice: 19.885*3=59.655


Putting it order from greatest to least, we get

1. Water-998.260
2. Steel-963.000
3. Psychic-866.160
4. flying-732.069
5. Dragon-581.688
6. Ground- 577.278
7. Fighting-431.001
8. Grass:185.948
9. Fire-165,040
10. Electric-141.908
11. Poison-132.860
12. Bug-126.072
13. Ice-59.655
14. Rock-53.852
15. Dark- 37.822
16. Ghost-34.994
17. Normal-5.539

This distribution puts a lot more emphasis on how diverse each type is in OU, which I think speaks more to the concept a bit better than Nyttyn's distribution. Based on this data, it seems to me that water, steel, psychic, flying, dragon, ground, and fighting types dominate our metagame while ice, rock , dark, ghost and normal are the bottom feeders. I hope this data can help orient our discussion.
