>>46647235>Beating Fighting, Dragon, and Dark Magic beats fists, lizards, and cheap tricks.
>NFE on Fire, Poison, Steel Fairies are beings of nature, and these types oppose, block, and destroy nature.
>Immune to Dragon Magic beats lizards and also balancing. Steel’s Dragon resist didn’t stop DragMag and another resistance wouldn’t matter much either.
>Resists Fighting, Bug, and Dark Same reasons as it’s strengths, and Bugs are just shit compared to Fairies. What the fuck is a bug gonna do to something the same size or bigger but with magic spells? It’s also a functional nerf to U-turn whilst still keeping it good.
>Weak to Poison and Steel Because fairy lore dictates they’re weak to cold iron. Fairies are also weak to shit that pollutes nature.
>But why isn’t it weak to Fire?Because why buff Poison just to make Fire better?
>But why isn’t it weak to Bug?Because Bug is meant to be a weak type saved by its techniques (moves and abilities) and synergy (Bug/Rock and Bug/Steel for example are great types). Also, who the fuck wants to BUFF U-turn? ALSO, you then just make Poison worse again.
The real solution? Nerf Fairy-type offensively, not defensively, because it’s meant to be defensive. Hell, half you retards will say Fairy is super strong without realising types aren’t the be all end all of Pokémon balance and most Fairies except literal legendaries are shitmons. It’s still overturned, but you fucks want to gut it and let Dragons rave again because you’re afraid a little pink will sissify your micro penis.
The realistic buff is Fairy is now NFE on Psychic and Grass. Bugfags get an indirect buff, two mediocre types get some defensive clout, and now Fairy moves are extremely easy to cover because they have five resists.
