Some ideas for fairy type moves:
- Magic Powder: 25% (each) to poison, burn, freeze or put the opponent to sleep. Accuracy = 60. PP = 10. - Fairy Wind: 10% chance to raise all of the user's stats. Pwr = 75, Acc = 100, PP = 5, Type = Special. Spoiler:
- Swift should be changed to Fairy Type. - Star Kick: Fairy version of Double Kick. Pwr = 50, Acc = 80, PP = 10, Type = Physical (direct). Spoiler:
- Star Punch: 10% chance to lower the foe's attack by one stage. Pwr = 90, Acc = 100, PP = 10, Type = Physical (direct). - Star Drop: Fairy version of Draco Meteor. Pwr = 140, Acc = 90, PP = 5, Type = Special. - Starburst: Fairy version of Fire Blast except it has a 10% chance to lower the foe's attack by one stage. Pwr = 120, Acc = 80, PP = 5, Type = Special. ... A lot of the inspiration came from Swift =P ... - Rainbow Beam: 10% chance to confuse the foe. Pwr = 95, Acc = 100, PP = 10, Type = Special. There's a lot they could do with Fairy moves to be honest. Also, I think: - They should be weak to Poison and Steel. - They should do no damage to Normal types. (if "normal" people don't believe in ghosts, they shouldn't believe in fairies either.) - They should be super effective against Dragon and Dark types. - They should be resistant to Dragon moves or immune? - They should be resisted by Steel and maybe also Poison types. These are mainly for balancing purposes (they don't have to make sense. Bug on Psychic and Dark didn't :/) |
I don't really think any existing moves will be changed to the Fairy type. I don't know any moves that need to be changed, and I didn't think changing Bite to the Dark type was necessary...

Fairy type is going to benefit the competitive battling community in a big way. Dragon types are a staple on every team nowadays, as their power and bulk are unmatched. Now, I see fairies becoming staples as well as the most reliable dragon counters, beating even Ice types that would take down their own dragon team-mates. I can see where people that think it will negatively effect the competitive scene are coming from, but I still think it won't be a bad thing at all.
I think it wasn't 'needed', per say, but I think a little spice was a smart decision. This generation is obviously a new chapter in the book of Pokemon with ditching the spriting art-style and now this new type release, and to me it's very positive. Changing things up will bring new spark to veteran Pokemon gamers and attract newer people to the franchise. The game would've been alright without it, but like I mentioned before, I think it will only benefit this gen. Actually, I don't like the name fairy that much. The term is used in lots of other games and activities similar to it, such as Yu-gi-oh! and the connotation of fairy didn't work too well with Pokemon, imo. Light type would have been a better fit just because of the way pokemon types have been laid out. Had dark types been named demon type or something of that sort, fairy would be a much easier choice to understand. Anyway, the name doesn't matter at all in the long run, haha. I love the strengths Fairies currently possess. Being able to hit dragons hard as well as ice types will make it an extremely popular competitive type choice and obviously be valuable in game as well. The rumored weaknesses are understandable and work for me. Poison is an underrated and mostly ignored type except for when it's paired with grass or another type, but now it becomes a counter to the dragon slayer, which means more people will consider poison types for their team. Steel is already a popular type for their natural bulk and enormous list of resistances, but I actually like that they'll be super-effective against Fairy, just because when it comes to using steel-type moves for super-effective damage... It's not that common. A number of pokemon will be thrown into this typing, and some of them are blatanly obvious (i.e. Clefairy line), but the reveal of Marill being a fairy type hints that there will be some unexpected fairies in the game as well. It'll be interesting to see which pokemon they decide to convert. |

I can see that, there's definitely two kinds of normal types. The cutesy/magical looking ones (Jigglypuff, Audino) and the average animal looking ones. (Zigzagoon, Ursaring) Looking at it that way you could say they had the Fairy type in mind right from the start. |

I hope there will be enough moves for Fairy, also it seems most people want Fairie to have lot of weaknesses to make other types more powerful.
Off-Topic: That new theme hurt my eyes good thing I can change it. |

I like the idea of a fairy type, but not that they're super effective against dragons. Can you imagine a tiny little Clefairy or Jigglypuff destroying a Hydreigon or Dragonite? It just doesn't seem right. I'd think that fairy types would be super effective against dark types or ghost types, but not dragon types.

I just don't understand how so many people say Fairy > Dragon is stupid. Guys, Hydreigon is weak to Joltik. So shh.

So its not a matter of one being effected, its a matter of all of them having a non-supported weakness added in for the sake of adding a weakness and nothing else. That is why we complain about it. |

Also, there are so much type advantages and disadvantages in Pokemon that don't make sense. If anything, Fairy > Dragon is one of the more logical typings. The fairy bestows magic on the weapon to slay the dragon. It's similar to how Psychic and Fighting work, Mind > Matter. Magic > Might. |

As for type match-ups, none from the past make less sense than fairy being stronger than Dragons. When Dragons are evil in lore, fairies are weak, frail pathetic creatures that trick humans into killing dragons for them since they are powerless against dragons themselves. When fairies are evil, they go out of thier way to avoid confronting dragons because they are powerless against them. As for Magic>Might...no just no. A dragon IS the embodiment of magic. It is a being of pure magic and are impervious to direct assaults of magical kinds. Most media Dragons are highly resistant to magic. So there is nothing that can be pulled up that makes fairy strong against dragons make any sense. Gamefreak even said only reason it exists is because they wanted something to be stronger than Dragons. |

And don't give me the whole "dragons are imperious to magic". In most fairy tales the only way to defeat the dragon is to use magic-based weapons. This is evident in SO many japanese stories, games, myths, anime etc. In Fire Emblem, there's always a sword with the sole purpose to defeat dragons with a description like "embroidered with ancient magic/ sword from the gods to slay dragons." Fairy Tail, an anime created in Japan, are about Dragons only being able to be defeated using Dragon Slaying Magic, which many of the members in Fairy Tail possess. In Pokemon, Dragon is weak to Dragon, Ice, and Fairy. If we are basing these type advantages/disadvantages on other examples of Fairy and Dragons, it only fits perfectly. Also, if Dragons are immune to magic, then what is Ice? Why is Ice strong against Dragon? Because it freezes them? If you say Ice has nothing to do with magic and such, then we can say the same thing about Fairy. Why? Because in the Pokemon World, Ice, Dragons and Fairies are whatever GameFreak wants them to be. GameFreak has told us that in the Pokemon World, Fairies are strong against Dragons. We can't argue this is stupid or makes no sense because it just is. It'd be like saying that trees giving out oxygen and taking in CO2 makes no sense. Just accept it, because I'm 99.99999% sure that GameFreak aren't going to change this because of a few close-minded haters/fans. |

Do you think maybe they'lll change existing moves to fairy-type? Like how Bite and Gust went from normal to Dark and Flying, respectively? I'm thinking moves like Moonlight, Wish, maybe even Flash if they agree to let dubbers decide to call it Light (which they may want to do).

Divine weapons also are not magic. A Weapon from god has no magic in it, its a divine weapon that nullifies magic since Magic is a manipulation of ones will upon the planet and no one's will is stronger than that of a god. No magical weapons in stories were ever used and made directly for killing dragons. None of them have ever said, poke it with this and it'll die. Some that I know of were enhancements to increase the weapon's ability, such as making it sharper than humanly possible, this would allow a sword to cut through the thick hide of a dragon. A Sword that would erupt into flames wouldn't do anything to a Dragon. And again there are no stories that exist where the Fairy is not a sniveling coward when they meet with Dragons, so no there is no sense in Fairy being stronger than Dragon. Quote:

I still don't think fairy pokemon will stand to much of a chance against dragons. I think they should increase the stats of the pokemon that are now fairytypes from past generations. But this is just my opion.

No, I'm talking about pokemon from the past generations that are now fairy type. I honestly don't think gamefreak will change thier stats. Tho some of the new fairy pokemon might be stronger when they're releqsed. But I'm talking about the previous pokemon. Tho if they did infact change the stats of previous pokemon the are now fairys, then it will be alittle better. Ethier way, I'm stating what I think. You don't have to agree or disagree. Feel free to do which ever tho. I don't care. |

Depending on how Fairy-Type moves are defensively, I don't see much change for Azumarill. A lot Azumarills carry Ice Punch, which do x4 to most dragons, whereas a STAB Fairy Move would do x3. But again, it all depends on Fairy's other offensive and defensive capabilities. As for our Fairy > Dragon discussion, let's put it off until the release of Pokemon X and Y, when we have more Fairy Pokemon revealed, when we find out their base stats and when we find out how they fare in the story and metagame. |
