What is your fave Fairy-type Mega Evolution and why?

Gardevoir! Only because i dont like mega mawile design a ton i think it could have been better and in competitive battles it always KOs me haha. Also i really have loved Gardevoir forever plus psychic and fairy a pretty good combo :)

I find the Psychic/Fairy combination pretty cool as well, given it actually allows it to now take out Dark-types it otherwise struggled with, and Mega Gardevoir's shiny coloring is among my fave shiny Megas ever. Gotta love dat black dress.

In X, I currently have a Gardevoir as a rotating team member (I evolved it from the Ralts that Diantha trades you) and I even made it replicate the exact same moveset Diantha's Gardevoir had in the Champion battle against her.

Mega Mawile on the other hand, has a much cooler look than regular Mawile. The dual jaws on it give Mawile a much more menacing appearance.

Hello, I'm new to the club! ^^ The Ralts line has always sort of been a trademark and my favorite Pokemon, so naturally Gardevoir is my partner. I love all fairy Pokemon, especially Gardevoir, Sylveon and Granbull. I'd love to see a fairy/ground type.

 

[Serenahikaru]

If you could add/replace a pokemons type with fairy type which pokemon would you have be part fairy/fairy?
Gallade: I rather it be a fighting/Fairy combo It could use Play Rough well and It would also match the chivalrous fairy tale style knight (ie Sir Galahad) its meant to represent.

Yes! I really wanted Mega Gallade to be part fairy at least. I still love him and his cape though.

I know you didn't do the proper sign-up form, but I'll let you in anyway!

Nice choice in Gardevoir as a partner, it's always been one of my fave Fairy-types and I do admit I started liking it when it became Fairy-type because it's now able to easily beat a type it used to always struggle with. Sylveon is a nice one as well, it's among my top fave Eeveelutions.

As for a Fairy/Ground-type, I'd definitely love to see that type combination be made in a future generation given that Ground easily beats the two major weaknesses of Fairy-types - Poison and Steel.

Have fun continuing to join in all the topics here!

Oh, sorry. I must of missed the proper sign up. Thank you though.

Why you like Fairies: I've always been a fan of Psychic types, and fairy just seems like a combination of Psychic, magic, and fluffy; for the most part it fits that description
Answer a Topic!: As I'm going through a monorun, this should be easy to say which team I would go with.
Mawile, Azumairl, and Granbull for my physical attackers and Gardevior, Florgress, and Togekiss for the special attackers. Although I don't think I can obtain Togekiss through X&Y until post game.

Welcome aboard! Glad to see another fan of Fairy-types around, and I can definitely say Gardevoir fans are really popular in this club and no surprise why. It's a powerful special attacker that has a pretty majestic design that only gets more majestic with its Mega Evolution.

As for Togekiss, yeah it's a post-game thing but of course Fairy-types are such amazing battlers while still being all cute and fluffy at the same time. Anyways, I'll be adding you to the list but have fun answering some topics!

 

[PsyKiss]

I originally liked the Gardevoir chain because it was the first Psychic type I ever ran across and was able to capture as a kid, and as a kid Psychic was the most "op" and best typing ever.

The fact that when you caught ralts and it didnt know any moves other than growl, just made me even more curious!

I like the shiny mega a whole lot more. I just wish I had a shiny Gardevior that wasnt crap though x3 or just a shiny Gardevior in general!

 

[Hiatus]

Welcome to fairy-type club, Psykiss! Yeah, I definitely agree with you on Togekiss there.

Generally, Togekiss is great on the special side, as it has access to moves such as Air Slash and Ominous Wind; with its Serene Grace ability, these attacks become even more viable, as their effect nearly doubles. Former would make sure to flinch your opponent, and latter would increase all your stats at once; they're great.

Not only this, but in terms of appearance, Togekiss is rather cute as well. Usually, fully-evolved Pokémon don't tend to fit the words "cute," "adorable," and so forth, since they look more fierce than anything, but they have managed to pull it off with this one!

 

[Aslan]

Welcome Psykiss! Awesome to have you here. :D

What is your fave fairy-mega evolution and why?

I'd say Mega Mawile, Gardevoir or Diancie. I like Mawile's the most as it feels the most unique out of all the fairy types. Fairy's pretty cliche when it comes to their appearances and personality - with the whole cute, pink, kind-looking or small idea. While Mawile itself may fit into the last criteria, it's cool how M-Mawile defies all of them yet still retains a fairy typing.

On to the actual design though, it's nicely done! I like how much intimidation the jaws on the top of its head give while M-Mawile seems bigger and better than the original. In all, it actually looks like something a person or pokemon would be scared to reckon with unlike some of the other fairy megas.

That doesn't mean they're necessariy bad though. I also like how cute some of them are with the first things jumping to mind including M-Diancie and Altaria. While I like the latter's design for its simplicity, M-Diancie's been done with a lot of effort. I had a lot of mixed feelings on this one before but it's adorable with the bright pink and its other new features.

Lastly, M-Gardevoir. I don't think I have to explain this one too but even though only minor details have been added, it's still on its own level of elegance. Definitely one of my favourites and probably a fan favourite too. :)

Unfortunately, I haven't used much of them, so I don't believe I would be able to give too good of an insight in terms of competitiveness.

When it comes to appearance, I would say my most favorite would likely have to be Mega-Gardevoir. Its design is different, but is not that different in comparison to its original form, which, I feel, is absolutely perfect! Pokémon are meant to go slight physical structure change when mega-evolving, I'd imagine, and they seemed to have kept it true here, and that's great!

One fairy-type mega-evo form I've always been wanting to see is Mega-Togekiss. Although it's quite good on its own at the moment, I believe it would become even better if it were to gain a mega-evolution at some point in future. Perhaps they could have its Special Attack stat boosted, as well as Speed; this way, it could be utilized much more easily when sweeping and whatnot.

Oh i didnt relize we where still on my fairy type topic haha XD
New one maybe?
Idk if we discussed this yet or if it was discussed in the past and if it was i can change it haha but lets see....
What was your initial reaction to the addition of the fairy type?
Where u shocked at first or did you expect a new type?
Did your views change over time?
For me i kinda thought it ridiculous but over time i grew to like them and the first hint of gem was sylveon and everyone is like what typing is this? The best u could come up with was it as a ghost type i honestly didnt see the new type coming haha :)

 

[Hikamaru]

I apologize for my activity lately, been too busy with Alpha Sapphire lol

But speaking of the Hoenn remakes, I found myself using Gardevoir on my team again and I have to say it's actually much easier to use now, as I learned its typing can actually single-handedly take down so many of Team Aqua/Magma's Pokemon given all the Dark and Poison-types they use. Seriously, another reason why Fairy-type improved her so well.

And that brings me to another topic...

Of all the Fairy-types in the Hoenn Dex, do you think OR/AS made them much more better to use throughout the story compared to the original Hoenn games?

Figured I'd do a topic that's more interesting and gives more opinion. I think the Fairy-types in the Hoenn Dex did get better from their typing (Gardevoir especially), but it was definitely Gardevoir and to a lesser extent, Azumarill who got the best end of the stick. Mawile may also count, but then again Team Magma have the occasional Numel line appearing so it's kinda questionable for those playing Omega Ruby. But in Alpha Sapphire, Gardevoir can like wreck everything Team Aqua has. But there's also the fact to consider the Ralts line's movepool through level-up got changed to add more Fairy-type moves, and also now learns both Confusion and Psychic at early levels.

 

[Aslan]

I haven't actually finished AS yet! Its been sitting next to my 3DS at home. :(

Of all the Fairy-types in the Hoenn Dex, do you think OR/AS made them much more better to use throughout the story compared to the original Hoenn games?

Definitely! Out of all the fairy types, my favourite would be Azumarill. I can't really make a comparison to its power in the originals as I've only used one in ORAS but it's ridiculous. Huge Power + Play Rough? Please. ;___;

Isn't fairy weak to poison with the exception of Gardevoir/Mawile though? Regardless, the extra typing made sweeping through anything a breeze. With two typings, more coverage was allowed and therefore it was harder to counter or beat them easily. Considering that all the fairy types also got their hands on their strong moves early, they did wonders at making the game feel even more like child's play.

If I may ask though, how good's Gardevoir in ORAS? I remember it already doing pretty well in the originals so I can only imagine that its power has skyrocketed through the roof come the remakes, haha. :]

Yes fairies are weak to poison and steel Gardevoir is not an exception but mawile is haha. :p
Gardevoir is amazing its not really overlooked as much as it used to be shes got a poweful typing an amazing mega and can destroy anything in its way!

Yes! Firstly pokemon like Azumarill and mawile used to be overlooked all the way now Azumarill is pretty powerful and mawile has a mega that will take you out. Gardevoir is definately more powerful and more used now but the biggest difference to me is Altaria. Now its part fairy with its mega its a adorbs fluff ball and its KOs everyone in my way! I just wanna give it a hug its so fluffy :3
Now its at the top of my team i mean it was never that powerful before and it has a mega and its part fairy which is the first of that combination of a dragon and fairy!
I mean its too awesome right?

Look at it! Its a adorable little fluffball! It look like a cloud lol! Dont u wanna hug it! Im just in love with mega altaria haha <3

As someone who is using a Gardevoir right now, I can definitely say it got way better in this game. Ralts and Kirlia's level-up moves got altered, such as learning Confusion and Psychic at earlier levels and also having more Fairy-type moves added, such as Disarming Voice and Draining Kiss. I don't think the Poison weakness was much of an issue since pretty much every Poison-type in the main story is weak to Psychic.

Azumarill on the other hand, has to wait a long time before getting Play Rough (and iirc it can't learn any of the special-based Fairy moves) although a strong physical Normal move can get you by for a while. It's just that it has to take a while before it gets the good moves.

When people were speculating Sylveon's type I never heard of ghost, just flying and bug. I was all for fairy when I heard Gardevoir was one.

 

[Hikamaru]

When people were speculating Sylveon's type I never heard of ghost, just flying and bug. I was all for fairy when I heard Gardevoir was one.

I think the reason some thought of Ghost was because they thought Sylveon's eyes looked creepy. When it was first revealed, I first thought Sylveon was either a Normal-type or a Flying-type, probably because of one funny pic posted at the time which had its using its ribbons as a propeller. But at the same time I always had a feeling it didn't fit the existing types, but I do like how it turned out as Fairy in the end.

Of all the older generation Pokemon that became Fairy-type, the most unexpected for me definitely had to be Mime Jr. and Mr. Mime. I always thought those two didn't look fairy-like at all, or even fit the usual criteria for the type.

Also, given that 2015 is just around the corner I plan to do some new things with this club so do look out for those! One plan I have to get activity going is a "featured Pokemon" like what I've seen some other clubs doing, where we spotlight topics on a certain Fairy Pokemon or its evolution line. I'm sure they'll make for some fun discussions and maybe learn completely new things about the Pokemon in question.

I think the reason Mime Jr. and Mr.Mime are fairy is because they're mimes and I guess have some type of magical involvement with creating invisible objects. I didn't expect them either though.

Why you like Fairies: they're cute. they psyduck dragons over. great defensively.

I normally dislike shiny pokémon, but shiny gardevoir and mega gardevoir look AMAZING.

You happen to be the first new member for this club for 2015! And welcome aboard buddy, about time you considered joining a club run by a great friend. Fairy-types surely are cute but amazing battlers as well? A great mix of supportive and offense together.

Love your choice of partner as well! I still haven't gotten to Lilycove in Alpha Sapphire yet (in fact, I still need to get to Fortree) but when I do I'm so gonna be looking forward to using Mega Altaria, given it's pretty good both offensively and defensively with its balanced stats. Hopefully you can stick around and discuss all the great things about Fairy-types, and revisit some old topics if you want!

Also, name changes are now open so if anyone is getting a name change soon you need to let me know so that I can update your name in the Members List. It's just that sometimes my memory goes all bonkers and I sometimes forget someone's name, so to help me keep track will be very grateful.
