>>30883792>I think its fame as a really strong type depends entirely on how good dragon types were until its introduction.Sure.
>As a type with pretty much no weaknesses, of course the meta was overrun with dragonsWell, it had Ice and Dragon itself as weaknesses. The problem was that they never made even one good (fast sweeper) Ice Pokemon to counter them, and gave most Dragons a Fire move as well.
>it was only natural that a type immune to them and SE against them would be felt as OP, even though it's only effective because of how dragon-heavy the meta was.To be honest I think Fairy is ridiculously overpowered and I only use one Dragon. It resists Bug for no reason, it resists Dark even though Fairies are meant to be innocent and susceptible to Dark. Fair play to Fighting I guess but that doesn't make much sense either.
>Let's also not forget that most dragons are not only faster than the majority of fairykind, but have also access to fire type moves
Which aren't super effective. What's your point?
>I really don't get the doomsday "Dragon-type is over" naysayersNo one says that. Dragon is still basically the best type. One shitty weakness doesn't break them in the slightest, the introduction of Fairy just fucked over the other types instead. Ice got cucked out of being useful, Bug got worse, Dark got worse.
The only good thing about Fairy was that Fighting got a very minor nerf and Fire got a very minor buff. They had the tools to fuck Dragon already; Ice as a type achieved nothing in five generations. It's no wonder it feels cheap when the brand new type just happens to beat everything just because.
