>>34043025Chansey not being Fairy was better for everyone concerned really. Plus it was a bit of fridge brilliance because it took 3 pure normal type 3-stage mon lines that were all pretty similar and gave them all a different spin:
Clefairy line: Fairy
Jigglypuff line: Normal/Fairy
Chansey line: Normal
Overall I feel Gamefreak made the best of this, but God how I wish they made Wigglytuff better.
My headcanon is Chansey only looks fairy-like by convergence, in reality it is egg-laying mammal (monotreme) who just looks happy all the time, so Normal fits nicely.
