What is your opinion towards the Fairy type in battle?
The Fairy type is a wonderful type in battle. Not only does it do super effective damage against three types, but it's also immune to Dragon-types. Fighting, a very common offensive type in the game, suffers from this, and sometimes doesn't have good moves to counter them. One of the types that resists it, Fire, fails to be a good defensive type most of the time and falls flat when facing Fairies, particularly Azumarill and Diancie. Its only true threats are rarely used offensively, making it a good typing defensively. If you're evil enough, make a good offensive Fairy (winks at Granbull) learn Earthquake or some other good Ground-type move to destroy those Poison- and Steel-type foes.
It does suffer a lot, however.
Fairies typically have a low Speed and Defense, meaning even a Close Combat would finish them before they can even boost their stats. Also, because it's the newest type, it suffers by having a lack of good offensive moves, having only one Physical move, and Dazzling Gleam being the only TM so far. Since Poison and Steel are usually Physical types, especially when using Poison Jab or Iron Head, it won't be long before the Fairy faints from a worthy foe like a Cobalion. And remember when I mentioned Ground-type moves? Well, good luck fainting Skarmory without a Slurpuff on your team.
Even with all this being said, Fairy is a good type if you know how to use it.
