I don't see how dragon friends would be buttflustered by this, it means that dragons were so powerful before gen 6 that gamefreak decided to nerf them hard with a type that has a total immunity to them, and even then it still sort of fucked up since fairies are physically frail, and any dragon worth a shit can get past them.
