>>21471596Dragon is a good typing... Prior to Fairy it did neutral damage to everything but Steel and it had (and still has) a lot of good resistances. And it has a lot of high BP moves. The game is won on neutral damage most of the time, realistically speaking. It's resistances that make or break games.
Shit, even since Fairies came to be, Outrage is still a big win button. You just have to think a little more before you press it and that's not an unreasonable thing to ask for. And all the dragons get coverage moves that are SE on all of the current Fairies, regardless, but even if they didn't it's still a fine type to have on your pokemon.
