>>15325038>Since fairy is immune it actually doesn't activate if you switch it into a fairy on the outrageWhile I'm disappointed that such a ridiculous thing is still how the mechanic works in gen 6 (because it makes so much sense for retard rage to go away because you didn't hit your target), I'm not talking predicting outrage, I'm talking switching in to block it and either guarantee a switchout (since the handful of good fairy types should easily scare off most dragons) or at least get a free switchin, or switching in after another pokemon has fallen to outrage and getting one free turn to set up or do whatever the fuck you want, which differs greatly from most checks in that it can all but guarantee a win.
>thats why encore whimsicott is so good.Nigga, there's a lot of reasons encore whimsi is good. But yeah, I can see how that would be one of them.
>>15325074>infers outrage wasn't viable in gen 4 or 5 because dragon claw was betterIt was plenty viable and still is, but it was a risky move to take it over dragon claw and is far riskier now that it can easily be completely walled by an entire type.
