>>35843239Fairy is the love, compassion and purity type. It's a little vaguely-defined, but that just means it's open to interpretation a little, which is good. It's all about sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. It's the "little girls" type, which as I may remind you, little girls play Pokémon, too. It's about butterflies, sweet things and occasionally eldritch horrors, because it is comedic for pink little girl things to beat up big scary manly things.
Weaknesses and resistances are pretty solid logic-wise. You can literally open the Wikipedia page on fairies and see how steel or "cold iron" was like a fairy's main weakness.
Poison also makes a bunch of sense as a weakness because fairies are all about trying to be pure, which poison directly ruins. And/or Fairies are sensitive, magical beings, so poison is just the easiest way to kill them.
Strong against Dark because Fairy is the "Goodness" type, minus some fae mischief here and there.
Strong against Fighting for the same reason Psychic is; they have magical powers. It'd be like bringing a knife to a gunshow/magic wand show. Fairies also are just kinda known to quell fighting and hostile tendencies.
Strong against Dragon as they are both magic and myth-centered creatures. So it makes sense that the only thing that could take down a dragon, is another magical being of the same ilk. I think they went a little too far though. Fairy should resist Dragon, not be immune.
A lot of that is also for gameplay balance, which is why Fire inexplicably resists Fairy. The only part of Fairy's type matchups that do not make sense is its resistance to Bug. I'm not even close to the only person who thinks this, but it should have been WEAK to Bug.
>>35843272Agreed. I'm not sure Alomomola fits Fairy, but Blissey, Audino and Meganium do. The type would aid it in setting it apart from Luvdisc, though. Heal Pulse ought to have been changed to a Fairy Type move.
