The day the Poison Typing is useful is the day Flareon doesn’t suck.
… Fairy type? Eeh, that seems incredibly niche, doesn’t it? At the risk of being generic, wouldn’t Light/Holy be a far more flexible and encompassing typing with more clear cut weaknesses/strengths?
It’s not as bad as it could be, sure, but it seems super specific, like having a Fish or Reptile typing.
Well remember that this is a translation. In the dubbing they can rename things, as they did for the Dark type.
Assuming these rumors are accurate of course.
Parting Remark apparently lowers your opponents stats and switches your mon out.
Oh looooord is this gonna be a fun 5 months.
FYI: Dark types are called Devil types in Japan. Fairy types are the antithesis so it’ll probably be changed to Light type for international release.
Parting Remark- “LMAO!”
Just what we needed…another U-Turn.
Good thing we have Stealth Rock…
UGH…
Naw, Parting Remark will be fine. It will make Pursuit-trapping certain mons hilariously easy… What’s that, Latios? You wanna Draco Meteor everything? How about I fuck up your offense/defense(wonder what stats get reduced)… do you wanna stay in while weakened and let me set up, or do you switch out and get wrecked by Pursuit? Sounds fun.
I want the Fairy-type stuff to be real-- Immunity to Dragon AND you get super-effective damage on two of the most powerful types(Dragon and Fighting)? Being weak to Poison and Steel gives those types something to do other than dropping/absorbing Toxic Spikes and soaking up attacks as well.
It’s almost too good of a balance for Game Freak to think of, so I’m leaning towards false, but the fact that they are being so close-mouthed about telling us Mewtwo-X, Sylveon, Xerneas and Yveltal’s types makes me think it could be true. It’s just trollish enough for them…
Dual-typed moves could be either the best thing ever, or the opening of the flood gates for chaos the likes of which competitive players have never seen. If it’s only a couple of signature attacks here or there, it could be an interesting dynamic… If even half of this stuff turns out to be true, then GF has really stepped their game up and are actively trying to liven up the gameplay. Kudos.
Even if the Fairy-Type stuff is real, it’s only as good as the Pokes that receive the typing.
Magic Guard Clefable does it for me. Switching in on Choice Draco Meteors/ Outrages and getting a free Calm Mind or Sub, me likey.
Which would make me wonder how much those Choice Latios/Haxorus would be used if these rumors were true.
And the fact that with the continuous power creep there’s probably Zubat-common pokes with 500 Attack now…
SO shall we compile a possible list of pkmn that are fairy type?
So Pokemon Smash showed Sylveon off, and some new details were shown about it:
It’s not Fighting, Poison, or Steel.
It is apparently super-effective against Ice (lololol.)
Poison is super-effective on it (or at least damages it…
That rumor is untrue if it beats Ice then.
Bious: Where is that video?
Jigglypuff, Clefable for sure, Dunsparce, Togekiss, Blissey, Lickilicky, and last but not least Snubbull/ Granbull. The rest might be single typed Pokemon that become dual typed Fairies now, like Volbeat and Illumise.
Mewthree could possibly be Psychic/ Fairy. It would explain his diminutive redesign and serve as a promotion for the new type.
Here White Shadow.
Try starting at 43:00.
I’m guessing Audino, Cressy, Milotic, and Celebi will be fairy type.
I’m liking the panda and glowing tail Pokemon.
Has anyone else done shutouts in the BW2 Champions Tournament? I used Mienshao, RotomW, Ferrothorn, and Scizor.
I’d shut it out more but the computer is a cheating whore if it’s a rotation battle, which is my favorite mode.
Yeah I primarily do Double Battle.
Sometimes I’ll run a swords dance Servine and take out 2 or 3 Pokemon lol. Alder and Red almost always take out one of my Pokemon.
Double battles suck. So do 3v3. 6v6 lv 100 battles only plz
