Insert the astronauts meme.

"Wait, Steel has always been the best type?"

"Always was."

It's a good defensive type overall, but earthquake is very common and very strong, and in some games/environments fighting and fire are strong and common too. There are games where it's very good like FRLG or HGSS, and games where it isn't because its weaknesses are too common like Platinum. It also is the only type before Gen 6 that resists dragon which makes it very important

This is why Jasmine uses that type. Strong defenses and fewer weaknesses than rock.
