Look at it from the other side. If a pokemon has very few weaknesses, its usually because the resistances and weaknesses of the individual types cancel each other out, hence why pokemon like Eelektross and Spiritomb have barely any useful resistances.
Ecloopiter is exactly like that. It is immune to Bug and Psychic, but literally everything else will deal usual damage.
Its not extreme, its... interesting
Also note that it would be weak to Poison with my type chart adjustments

Actually, you don't need to change the type match-ups anymore, because dark is now confirmed to be weak to fairy-type attacks.

Huh? Why Poison? That doesn't make sense.

For balance reasons check my type chart comment.
As for logic, I would argue Poison>Dark makes more sense than half of the official type chart XDDD

The Dark type is about cheap tricks and unfair moves, why wouldn't Dark pokes be vulnerable to Poison?

Grass is weak to Poison because poison can kill plants. Bug used to be weak to Poison but no longer is because of insecticides and how insects can easily adapt to them. It just doesn't make sense for Dark to be weak to Poison.

Poison doesn't just kill plants, it kills anything by that logic, except for bugs which were weak but are now not because they found out about insecticides? Wouldnt bugs then be resistant to Poison?

The sentence I wrote about why Dark is weak to Poison does not qualify as that kind of logic?
I can even elaborate. While other types like Fighting and Psychic train properly to be better than normal, Dark types just figure out more sneaky tricks to get an advantage, hence they are more vulnerable to unhealthy stuff as they dont do proper exercise for body and mind.

But I assume Psychic being weak to Bug makes more sense than that, right?

Well, plants and bugs are what poison is primarily used to exterminate. As for the adaptation of the bugs, the poison is still capable of affecting them, it's just not lethal anymore.

Yes, it actually does if you think enough about it (though admittedly if I hadn't looked it up, it never would've occurred to me). Bugs are among the most common fears, along with ghosts and the dark.

I dont understand how my reason for Poison->Dark is any less good than all those reasonings.

Psychic weaknesses are based on common fears? Which dont include death by fire, electrocution? I dont know why Im even arguing here.

No, no, Psychic's weaknesses are based on THE MOST common fears, which are ghosts, bugs, and the dark. If Dark becomes weak to Poison, more or less every Pokemon that is based on an organism would have to become weak to Poison by that logic. Grass is weak to Poison because plants are what poison is most often used to kill, and Bug used to be weak to Poison because bugs are also most often what poison is used to kill.

Of course! Its completely astro. I'd love to see it in a fakemon game. The base stats are overboard, but i like the idea and the design.
