I dunno, cause if it looks sludgy it's usually poison.

by cephalopodAscendant Sun Oct 06, 2013 4:01 pm

Well, for Fairy, most of the theorizing is based on what's in the Fairy Egg Group (yes, Froslass is in that group). It's similar with Dragon, but there's a lot more "it looks vaguely reptilian, so it must be a Dragon" going on. Speaking of which, when are we going to get that definitive list of retconned Fairy-types? I realize we may have to wait until Pokémon Bank is released, but I'm hoping Game Freak will go ahead and give us the list themselves once the games are officially released.

It seems like noone bothered to read my answer to D_What about WHY I'm upset about the typing.

hey xaber
you're still our resident statistician right
figure out svyleon go go go

same as the slyveon pic up there but small enough to fit on your screen:

Hey OJ. Don't worry about it. Apparently the pokemon you've pegged outclassed has every chance of being pretty strong. something to do with how its ability works I think combined with its typing and stat spread. Whereas the other one has some rather meh stats.

I'm pretty sure we don't know how it's ability works yet and if it works like I (And others) think it does then it's a pretty weak ability.

So I think I've got my desired team figured out. It's in spoilers because there are leaked Pokémon in there.

Probable team:

I've got it so I have pretty good type coverage. Now let's hope everything gets a nice and diverse movepool.

new move²:

by d_what Mon Oct 07, 2013 3:01 pm

Not a spoiler because boring:

Moonblast, sylveon's move, is a special 95 bp 100 accuracy move that has a 10% chance to lower sp.atk. and here was I worried that fairies would be super strong. > Neutral

Meanwhile, the closest fairy TM we have is a special 80 base move with no effects. So presumably Moon Blast gets limited distribution. I hope it does.

(Expln: fairy could very well be the god type unless either a) most fairies are shitty, and this could well be the case, or b) they all get poor moves to make use of it. Waiting on Child's Play or whatever it is before I can make physical judgements. Loool what of Mawile didn't get any physical fairy move > Very Happy

heheheh.)

by Dregadude Mon Oct 07, 2013 4:55 pm

I'm mostly worried about a lot of non-Fairies getting Moonblast, especially Alakazam and other already powerful Psychic types. That would be a good way to make Psychics blatantly OP once again, wouldn't it?

by cephalopodAscendant Mon Oct 07, 2013 5:05 pm

Yeah, Game Freak needs to tread very carefully. Make Fairy-types too weak, and they've failed to counter Dragons like they were supposed to. Make them too powerful, and you've replaced one titan with another. As it is, Mega Evolutions are already redefining the metagame; the last thing we need is for the type chart to remain unbalanced. On that note, even with its new advantage, Poison could still use some assistance in terms of offensive options (Steel too, to some extent, although it's already dangerous defensively).
