>>27670647>>27670658Sure, but this doesn't really explain why Dnite wasn't negatively effected.
Gen4, Salamence is the top Dragon along with Garchomp (who is then banned). Dnite is still OU, but really just has niche rolls. Gen5 rolls around (no fairies yet) and Salamence begins to drop in usage, but Dnite only rises. Gen6 comes, and Salamence drops even further, while Dnite continues climbing.
If slow speed and fairies are what hindered Salamence, wouldn't these very problems hinder Dnite even more?
