I missed parts of all your comments because of the excitement lol.
So ,what do you guys think about the new type, so far?
I hope that this will balance out the metagame. I'll just theorymon for a bit if you don't mind:
More Fairies = less Dragons
Less Dragons = Less Steel types
Less Steel types = Less Fighting types
This will leave room for more pokemon to be viable in a competitive environment.
Ingame wise:
I never plan my pokemon teams for ingame, but really, I must and will have a Gardevoir in my team.
Fairy...FAIRY? Well, at least it beats Dragons. Which is an amusing mental image *gigglesnort*
haha it is, just look at Salamence his face in those pics. Salamence is seriously screwed. Scarf Moxie Mence with Outrage will be nothing more than a vague memory.
Gardevoir can be useful now against Latios + Latias due to its bulky SpDef, and also if the two new Fairy mons are good, it can be placed in OU. so I guess change isn't that bad. We'll just have to work around it :[
Yeah boy, change is coming!
I also saw people posting that Blissey and Chansey could be fairies, this is pure speculation tho, but just think about it...
OU Gardevoir? Geez I know people that will literally die of happiness when they hear this.
Thanks for the feed back guys, I was just using a smogon set Azu so I don't really know why it has both but I'll definitely look into that. And KFT the Starmie I had was a bulky spinner so I didn't have ice beam, but I was expecting him to switch since I had switched into starmie and it was known to carry ice beam. I just didn't know what he would switch into which was the flaw in my plan. I was also trying to get every mon in the fight and take a little damage so I could understand what their limits where, since I'm not so great when it comes to all of the stats and numbers
I don't really remember all of the sets I used since I'm on my phone right now, but I'll look them up when I get home.
Ah ok, yeah I figured you were double switching, altho it looked a bit random now, always bear in mind that people tend to switch in a pokemon who could get rid of the one that was out now (which was Starmie). Alakazam didn't seem like a random switch in since it carried Shadow Ball so you should keep that in mind
Unless of course your opponent was expecting a double switch but that barely happens.
