>>25010192>There needed to be a type to deal with DragonFor what reason? The only Dragons causing trouble were the Psuedos (Garchomp, Dragonite, Hydreigon, Salamence) and the ACTUAL legendaries. Not a single one of those Pokemon had lower than 600 BST, which is higher than any trio-legendary, like the legendary birds, beasts, golems, or lake trio. If you're complaining about Dragons with, may I remind you, the same base stat total as Genesect, Deoxys, and Darkrai, then there's something wrong with you. There's a reason they're strong, and it's not their type, it's their ludicrous base stat total granted to them by being Psuedos. Tyranitar and Metagross were just as powerful, in lieu of also being Psuedos.
At most, Ice type needed to resist Dragon, maybe Rock as well (Rocks stopping Dragon fire). Not a whole type used to nerf them into the fucking ground, to the point where the only surviving non-legendary Dragons are Garchomp and Dragonite (thanks to having a Parental-Bond, Huge Power tier ability). Seriously, do you see how far Flygon, Druddigon, and Kingdra have fallen from grace? Haxorus? Salemence?
> Did GF fuck up with balancing Fairy? Yes.Glad we agree, then. Fairy is so fucking bullshit as a type, since GF thought that giving it 2 weaknesses to the 2 weakest offensive types in the game was enough to fix those types, offensively. They forgot to add in the moves needed to make those types viable offensively as well. Sludge Bomb/Wave have horrendous spread, and Gunk Shot might as well be a signature move for how rare it is.
>I don't think there is a single Fairy mon currently that doesn't fit the motif of FairiesWhich would be? Granbull is a "fairy" simply because of its species. What about Mr. Mime? Azumarill? Gardevoir? The only real Fairy is the Flabebe line.
>han something like Sound which effects like 5-10 current Pokemon or Cosmic which affects another 5. Sound is more prolific than Fairy among Pokemon, dimwit.
