>>22952696>Probably the only pokemon that got retconned into a fairy type that actually got WORSE.>UU in Gen 5>BL today and OU early X/Y>Worse >no Moonblast which could have been awesome with Serene Grace, has to settle for the mediocre Dazzling GleamThat I agree with. Its really infuriating that it didn't get it. DG packs a punch after a Nasty Plot at least
>no more STAB Tri AttackIt rarely used it's Normal STAB anyway. Not to mention being an XD exclusive move made it illegal with Nasty Plot. Meaning it has to run Scarf or Specs to use it effectively
>keeps the ice, electric and rock weaknesses>plus steel and poison weaknessesIt still has pretty good bulk to make up for all those weakness. Even with 5 weakness now people still use it for their Follow Me shenanigans in doubles.
>lost ghost immunityDragon moves were way more prominent than Ghost attacks. It was a fair tradeoff.
>most sets don't have room for Aura Sphere, so it gets fucked by HeatranI agree that it now has severe 4MSS. But lots of pokemon with good movepools also suffer from that. That doesn't mean that it would hinder it's effectiveness. You got teammates on your back to deal with your checks.
>dragon immunity, plus dark and fighting resistances are nice but do not offset the consMost of its cons are minor issues anyway. So those pros alone offset all but only 2 of your cons.
I really don't see the issue here. It benefited from the Fairy retype like all the others. Normal/Flying a shit.
