>Lunala
Not to parrot the "Gastly used Lick!" meme, it has two 4x weaknesses to fairly common types, both of which have priority; Its own typing isn't that great offensively or defensively either. Even with its multiscale clone, I feel it's going to be OU.

>Mimikyu
While its ability sounds great, we don't know if it only works once per battle, or if it refreshes every time it enters. Regardless, if it lacks the stats or utility to make use of the free turn, I don't see it in OU.

clefable was the perfect storm of type, stats, ability and moves. and it's literally only that way in smogon's metagame because of them allowing access to softboiled from gen 3 tutors. and because magic guard dumps on stall and entry hazards, once again two things very relevant to smogon's metagame but not really cart gameplay/vgc.

did you see wigglytuff and mr mime suddenly jumping to uu or ou? no you don't. stop being an idiot.

Luchalitten would be UU only if it has Blaziken tier stats and more than 80 speed. It would be similar to Houndoom but more Attack and bulk. Poppmaid will be a special Azumarill. It will be UU at worst and BL at best. If Robingroot has no coverage but STAB it might be NU.

i don't need them explaining thanks. all you're saying is that it's a combination of their attributes in relation to the metagame that allows them to be useful and caused them to move up. which oh that sounds familiar, just like the older mons who were retconned to fairies and now see more use. how surprising.

you're literally not proving any sort of point you know that right? especially when you dodge the topic to explain two grass types which were just an example of you using flawed logic and not a point of contention.

you could argue that pixilate hyper voice in doubles is annoying but that's because those abilities give an extra boost that's unnecessary. but other than that i don't agree.

if anything i'd just argue we need some more poison types rather than game freak ignoring them every generation lately.

I think fairy is a bit too strong but it's balanced out by the terrible shitmons it's often attached to.

I get that you need a strong counter to the 600+ BST monster dragons mashing outrage over centralizing everything but now you have belly drum aqua jet shenanigans doing exactly what the dragons did last generation.

They need to retcon ghosts or poison types to straight up have an immunity to fairy damage but pixilate return/hyper voice/quick attack is just fucking terrible.

See, you're doing it again. Other pokemon moving up in tiers is in no way a counterargument against Fairy being overpowered as a typing. How is Amoongus moving up a tier supposed to be any proof against Fairy being a ridiculusly strong typing? It isn't, it's not related in any way.

It's a fact that Fairy is ridiculously good on paper. Slapping Fairy on any given Pokemon is pretty much the best buff you can give if we talk typings. The reason why Fairy doesn't dominate is because it's held back by being a rare typing, typically run by small useless shitters.

literally not fairy's problem. sure the fairy type on azu might give it more opportunities to drum, but if it sets up it's clicking aqua jet the majority of the time because it's slow and has near half health.

azumarill could easily run drum/jet/knock/superpower if it wasn't a fairy and still be good, so it's not like the set only works because it's a fairy.

Fairy is so good it brought things like Clefable from the depths of NU to the best Pokemon in the whole OU metagame.

Xerneas was the king of Ubers during all of XY, finally dethroning Kyogre's long reign.

Fairy is such a ridiculously good type it hurts. I dread the day the stars align again and we get Garchomp Fairy Edition.

holy shit you're an idiot. i already said like three times it was an example of flawed logic because you can't look at a mon moving up and solely decide WHY it moved up based on nothing but its typing which is all you're doing with clefable.

clefable moved up because of the metagame and because of other factors like its stats, abilities, moves and yes type. if it didn't have softboiled from a gen 3 tutor game in a fan created metagame it would not be fucking top of said metagame and would not be this boogeyman you're making it out to be. the typing isn't broken, it's the combination of everything else it has that makes it appear so.

i seriously can't argue this anymore. if you can't understand this i give in.

Diancie, Clefable (Even without softboiled that thing is a pain), M-Gardevoir, M-Mawile, Klefki, Sylveon, Azumarill, Togekiss

The combination of Fairy Type and the special bulk these things have make them really hard to take down unless you're carrying a strong physical attacker with SE moves (Which are rare for poison types who are mostly bulky defensive special attackers barring Gengar/Nidoking/Nidoqueen/Mega Bee).
These rare weaknesses are usually dealt with by using coverage moves available to them or by pivoting back to the incredibly common ground types.
Finding a window to set up is pretty easy for them due to how good of a defensive type it is and how bulky these mons tend to be, as well as due to many of them having cleric options.

I have faith in GameFreak's tendency to pamper their favorite starter. The archer owl is definitely the poster boy this time around: it's the sleek "cool" one, it has a built-in weapon, and Ash seems to be getting Rowlet in the anime. This is our new Greninja, and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets some shiny toys as a result. Offensively, Grass/Flying isn't actually terrible. If it gets a halfway-decent Fighting move, good Attack and Speed, and an ability better than Keen Eye it has potential.

On typing and known spread alone Popplio3 is in the best starting position, true. Rowlet3 isn't doomed just because Tropius and Jumpluff suck. Doesn't mean it'll be as oppressive as Shaymin either, but GameFreak is really pushing this batch of starters as partners so I'd hope they work to make them respectable.

It still has other recovery moves and can fulfill a shitton of other supportive roles now thanks to its newly gained resists.

yes but if it was pure fairy without those stats and abilities it would not be ou. look at aromatisse for example. it's not the typing that makes it so good, it's everything about it. it was the perfect storm of attributes.

its other recovery is wish, which generally suck if you're not chansey or alomo. or moonlight which has 5pp and is nerfed under sand which is everywhere in smogon's metagame. don't give me that shit because it's wrong.

You talk about its stats like they are good when none of them are above 100. Wish is good enough on a set up sweeper like that and even sees use in tourneys (I think ABR used Wish Clefable the other day) Moonlight may be weak under sand but Clef can punish TTar switch ins easily.

are you being purposely dense? i can't even tell if you're being like this on purpose.

it's the combination of EVERYTHING about it that makes it good not just one thing. it's bulk seems better than it is because it doesn't take entry hazard damage when it switches in like everything else, it also can't be stalled with status either, and on top it has useful resistances to common attacking types.

clef is good because of magic guard, because of pure fairy, because of softboiled, thunder wave, calm mind, flamethrower, stealth rock, knock off and so on. because of them all combined, not just because of fairy alone. again, see aromatisse for another supporting pure fairy type that is not even close to broken just because it's a fairy. if the typing was so good alone that it's breaking the game then aromatisse would be top of ou by your logic. but that's not how the game works.

Yeah, we were going off of the Dark/Flying types that existed before Yveltal, which to be fair left a lot to be desired

Same thing now with Lunala, we're basing how well it will do off of a Pokemon that can get Ohko'd by Shuckle's Knock Off

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Speaking of fanfic and official metas:

Also most of Alola mons are VGC worthy with shit like auto electric terrain Koko and Raichu.

Lycanroc Midday is RU / NU, clearly has only Howl or Hone Claws as boosting move. This garbage isn't worthy of use despite the rock priority.

Magearna is OU or banned from UU.
It's pretty much Diancie and other pixies tier.

Clefable had access to all the abilities and moves (except Fairy) it now commonly runs back in gen 5, and nobody gave a shit. The type change singlehandedly made it far better.

Nobody is saying you can just slap Fairy on Ferfetch'd and expect it to wreak havoc, people are saying that relative to other typings, Fairy is really powerful. Excellent defense, great offense, you can't go wrong slapping Fairy on a mon if you want to buff it.

I think it will be a special attacker and faster Metagross or Jirachi, probably CM.

It's not a great type since the Steel nerf, Sucker Punch, Shadow Sneak etc.

I'm sure it will have access to Will-O-Wisp despite the meme typing, and even to non STAB fire attacks so it won't be walled by Ferrothorn let's say.

With the average cover legendary stats it's safe to assume it may turn a decent mixed attacker too.

Also confident some fanfic meta so called ubers may drop to OU for once.

If it's got good Special Attack and Speed like almost every other Electric-type ever, it's a safe bet for Ubers. Electric Terrain boosted Electric moves + Fairy STAB or Nature's Madness for fucking up Ground-types is going to make it a hassle and a half to deal with in OU. Especially if the thing gets Nasty Plot.

In OP's defense, none of the other pixies had what is statistically the best defensive type combination in the game, a Fairy-type Draco Meteor, or a Special Attack variant of Moxie, to say nothing of having all three at once.

Fairy type is definitely a bless for Magearna, assumining it gets Moonblast or at least a guaranteed Dazzling Gleam the only thing it may hope is either shit speed to abuse Trick Room or Rock Polish / Autotomize.

However it still seems to be OU material at best.

yeah pure fairy is better than pure normal, no shit there friendo tell me something that isn't obvious. you know pure steel is better than normal too right? obviously getting a type that's more useful is going to increase its usage.

and yes, people in this thread are saying you can slap fairy on anything and it makes it better. literally read the posts. i'm not saying fairy is not a good type because it clearly is, but it just isn't broken. and literally using clefable as an example it's broken is retarded because as clefable exists in smogon's fan metagame (yes, that's important here) it doesn't exist in the official one like that. it's nowhere near that level of dominance in the actual game ladders and vgc. so sorry if i don't take all this whining about clefable being an example of fairy being broken seriously.

it will just be a better mega metagross. sure no tough claws and likely less speed but it can hold whatever item it wants, no restricting your mega choice and will probably have a massive movepool. things like morning sun, wisp, calm mind, roar, probably some fire coverage. i don't see it being good for ou at all and definite ubers material.

Everyone has multiple Knock Off users on their tams, Pursuit Trapping is a thing, Gengar shits all over it too. Bishapr is the main reason Bulky Pschics need ot be fast to make it to OU (Reuniclus would be OU if not for Bishapr) so Lunala will neec to at least have speed and a coverage move for Bisharp. Remember, Baby Hoopa has OU tier stats and spread to be an amazing wallbreaker but its typing really hinders it severely.
