![]() ![]() ![]() Sure, the problem with Fairy moves being almost exclusively on Fairy types exists, but it's not like a Fairy harms your team. Fairy is actually among the types with the highest representation there. "Only" 8 viable Fairies isn't very accurate. Especially when you are looking for a physically offensive Pokemon- You have to pick either Azumarill or Mega Altaria and if you already have a Mega and a Water type, you are in a problem. We don't even have Hidden Power Fairy so if you want a Fairy move on your team for coverage you are forced a lot of times to save a spot for a Fairy Pokemon which takes place instead of many other better options. Not much but thats ok, I'm talking more about how non-Fairy types barely has that type coverage as an option. ![]() Pokemon that suppose to be hindered by their type advantage like Keldeo Latias and Mega Loppuny still manages to prevail in OU.Īnd if you think about it, The reason for the fall of Hydreigon and Haxorus might be explained in a completely different way which is the fact that you better use for Defog or Garchomp because it simply faster.Īnother big issue is the possible Fairy moves. In addition, many Pokemon that has gained from the introduce of the Fairy types like Heatran Gengar Scizor and Excadrill were already good last gen. With only 8 viable Fairy types which 3 of them takes up the Mega slot and only 2 physical attackers, it is hard to to think how much this type effects the metagame. Now here is an interesting thing: check out the list of the most viable Fairy types in OU right now:Īs you can see, That is not a very long list. Dark types on the other hand got even better in the metagame despite the introducing of the Fairy type mainly thanks to the boost of Knock Off and the nerf of Steel types not being resisted anymore by Dark types.Īlso, they made steel types much better-Mainly Heatran Scizor and even Bisharp. Less noticeable is how they made Fighting types less common (Might be the reason behind the major fall of Mega Gallade?). Their first obvious impact on the metagame was the downfall of the Dragon types mainly Hydreigon and Haxorus. ![]() This is the biggest change in the game after Mega evolution. Hey everyone, I want to talk about the Fairy type in OU. ![]()
