>>23585202Show me how many fairy types won regional, national and worlds.
And before you try to say "skilled battlers don't use cheap strats", Aegislash was on most of the top teams. Perish trap made it to top cut a few times. Double Genie Swagger/T-Wave Rock Slide spam is standard. And Mega Kang is the most used Mega.
Dark and Steel where more broken at their release than Fairy.
TWO whole types to stop the strongest type in the game, one resist and one is outright immune? And Dark's only weaknesses were Fighting, of which only a handful existed, and bug which had the weakest fucking attacks in the game.
Steel was weak to Fighting (see above) and Ground, all of which were part rock at the time. Guess what Steel was super against.
