The Fairy Type really isn't bringing balance to the Metagame.

If Gamefreak really wanted to Balance the metagame, along with the Fairy Type, Ice and Poison should both have received buffs.

Give Ice Types 2 more resists, and Make Poison effective against 2 more types besides Fairy

There you fucking go.

Maybe the did. New movepools to old pokemon can make a huge difference. We just don't know yet...

Fairy only being weak to poison would give it a large buff

Ice resisting fairy would help a little bit as well.

The thing about the Ice type is even though it's completely fantastic offensively, every Pokemon in the game can learn an ice move so they use that instead of being weak to Rock, Fighting, Fire and Steel.

Is Fairy not weak to Ice? Fairy should take Super from Ice and Fire along with Poison. (Imagine a little Tinkerbell getting fucking scorched or frozen solid. Makes sense to me.)

I agree, Fairy was just there to shit on Dragons. But they could've buffed Ice and done the same thing.

Please, fairies can handle fire/ice/poison shit. One of the weaknesses will likely be Steel considering how effective iron is against the fair folk.

Your imagination does not constitute any logical explanation for why fairies would be weak to ice or fire, nor is it supported by mythology.

It'll be nice to have Steel be supereffective against another type besides Rock and Ice, especially if Fairies are going to be especially prevalent.

to me it feels like giving fairy an attacking advantage against fighting type makes psychic more useless than it already is right now.
And its one of my favorite types.

Poison should be SE against Steel. Always should have been.

One of the only things metal is weak to is corrosion.

give an entry hazard that specifically eats up 50 percent of dragons health upon switching in and you have balanced the game just fine.

This is lazy but still I think its better than gamefreak's idea. Them introducing fairy just to take care of fighting and dragon doesnt really help much of anything just further nerfs everything that isnt dragon and fighting.

Its not balance to force every team to run a move.

Balance is to make every type of team equal.

Well I agree with that

>Balance is to make every type of team equal.
which shows you how gamefreak did a poor job of doing this. By introducing one type to try to make "every type" of team equal.

What are you talking about fairy types are arceus's gift to poison pokemon.

They couldn't ask for a better gift than this.

Now Ice types on the other hand might outright useless outside killing off dragon/flying now that fairy presents a better option.

No, because it doesn't get any resists out of the Fairy Type, and just a new Stab move to handle Dragons and Dark types(it's already got Psyhic for fighting)

While now being 1 shot by Bullet Punches from anything

they wouldn't have given steel like 10 fucking resistances and ice effectively none

so there you go

...and now of course they're ensuring an attack type ice is weak to will be even MORE prevalant
