Been trying to figure out the difference and i really cant see any and it seems like a lot of people get confused with this too. Is there a main difference between them?

misty is fully inverted, bio is just off axis. both are thrown similarly though: forward

Yes. A bio is like a cork but thrown forward instead of backwards and a misty is like a rodeo but thrown forward instead of backwards.

i feel like a bio is more equivalent to a flatspin than a cork

no misty is more of a forwards d-spin

i find rodeos are more of a forwards thrown trick tbh
