Fairy (type): Difference between revisions

As it was created to balance the competitive play in [[Generation VI]], the Fairy-type is considered to be one of the best defensive types, along with the {{t|Steel}}-type. As such, it is considered to be an anti-metagame type, having traits that no other is capable of offering - a key resistance to the powerful {{t|Fighting}} type, as well as the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Bug}} types, granting resistances to overused moves like {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Knock Off}}, and {{m|U-turn}}. Most of all, it also has a useful immunity to {{type|Dragon}} moves. Its only weaknesses are to {{t|Poison}} and Steel, both of which were rarely used offensively prior to its introduction.
