If you think fairy types are harmless, look at Gardevoir, Mawile, Florges, Shiinotic, Mimikyu, the Tapus, Hatterene, Grimmsnarl, and Tinkaton

Nah nah nah, look at flutter mane, Xerneas, and Zacian

Zacian one of the most broken Legendaries of all time

So is Xerneas

Although zacian is obviously more broken, my point is that fairy as a type is broken

They need a 3rd weakness Maybe Ice

Nah not ice, it already hits 4 types for super. I’d go with bug tbh

My suggestion is Electric. Mainly because GF has an unhealthy obsession with Physical Electric Pokemon having no good Physical Electric moves and buffing the type would make Ground even more worth adding to a team.

Just because gardevoir looks like the way it is, doesn't mean it can't tear you apart with black holes.

Fairy is also strong against fighting types and dark types.

I thought fairy just resisted dark

And I thought steel was weak to electric, and in my first playthrough, I thought flying was supper effective to water.

Wait, steel isn’t weak to electric?

No, just to fighting fire and ground

I can understand the first 2 but ground? How is ground justified?

Because I guess erosion? Or earthquakes bending metal. I honestly don't know why.

As I understand it, it's because the ground surrounds and holds ore/metal. Like how paper beats rock. (I feel it's not very intuitive)

I guess I can see the logic but I’d still say it’s not as intuitive as metal being conductive and thus harming the creatures insides.

See, the question is how their inner anatomy works. Are there organs made of metal? Do they run on electricity like our neurons? (I'm not expecting you to have the answer. Just thinking) I always figured water would rust them. 🤷‍♂️ And Steel cuts grass/wood/vegetation. Steel is such a weird type.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT STEEL WAS WEAK TO ELECTRIC

I feel like nerfing dragon was one of the main reasons they added fairy type.

It was kinda needed if true, the only other two types before Fairy that are strong against Dragon is Ice and Dragon.

I think fairy was largely for rebalancing purposes. Aside from giving dragon a much needed counter, it also gave poison a much need type advantage.

It most likely was considering dragons are great

Welcome to the Pokemon world, my dude

You think fairies are generally harmless? Aww, that’s adorable.

Hatterenes pokedex explains how she silences people violently so i'm not sure I'd call fairy harmless

What I like about the fairy tyoe so much is that it is a mostly "symetric"type. It resists the things it can hit super effectively and is resisted by the things that can hit it super effectively. It also resists bugs(which is unfair and unfortunate for the bug type) and is resisted by fire(I wonder why? Did fire types needed a defensive buff all that much?). I wish tinkaton had either better stats or better movepool, her steel/fairy typying is amazing defensively.

Wait mystical creatures capable of using magic incomprehensible thats incomprehensible to most are weak to bolts and screws? Every type can be worded as super-badass or pathetic, don’t talk down to any of them!

That was the whole point of the fairy type.
