>>38653036>Because fairy being super effective against dragon totally made it an overcentralizing type didn’t it?No, those are two separate ideas. Needing Fairy in any regard would make it less dominant of a type, and nerfing specifically that would help Ice.
>Can we stop with this “ice needs its niche against dragon types” meme? No, because it had basically only that niche and should never have had it infringed upon by other types, including a new one for “balance” like Fairy. It was an unnecessary nerf to Ice, an already shoddy type.
>It doesn’t even help ice type Pokémon anywayIt certainly helps the ones which are usable (glass cannons), yes, by improving their STAB. The rest have problems which would have to be fixed by other means.
