>>20562633I'm not saying we won't get Pokemon like that, but it isn't the point of the overall type. We could certainly get a malevolent Dark/Fairy, which uses dark magic and deception to defeat opponents. How about a Troll, pairing Fairy with Ground or Fighting? Maybe a Fairy/Fire Will-o-the-Wisp that focuses on status, confusion, and stat-lowering? How about a Water/Fairy Mermaid, as a swift, special counterpart to Azumarill's physical tanking? A pure Fairy Changeling with Protean and a wide movepool? A Fairy/Flying Griffin, a Fairy/Grass Dryad, a Fairy/Rock Kobold, or a Fairy/Ghost Banshee?
By allowing the type to take inspiration from folklore and mythology as well as the surface-layer cute-appeal, the floor is open for monsters like these.
