>>18932268It's a combination of things. That's where you're failing to make the connection. Look at where most fairies are located:
>Dark areas (Thick forests, caves, swamps)Trait most emphasized with fairies:
>Closeness with their partner (Goodras love their trainers and are known for hugging them and leaving goopy messes, Gardevoir makes emotional bonds via psychic abilities with its trainer, Togekiss brings blessings, Sylveon...pretty much wants to fuck its trainer)Does it have a folklore like background?
>Known as the weakest Dragon, friendly creature in an otherwise dangerous and "creepy" location (Relates to Mawile, since according to you it shouldn't be fairy either)I can go on more, its essentially a collection of traits. When you cherry pick single traits and dismiss them because non-fairy types share them, then of course you'd lack the big picture. Goodra as a whole has traits that when put together makes it seem more like the other fairies in the game.
