HOLD ON ARE WE THEORYCRAFTING ABOUT COMPETITIVE POKEMON HERE WITHOUT ME?
ALRIGHT LET ME IN, LET ME IN. GTFO KHAINIWEST THIS ISN'T A THREAD ABOUT POLITICS OR RELIGION.
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE ~5-10% USAGE OF TWO OF THE FAIRIES SHOWN SO FAR (besides Xerneas). THESE FAIRIES HAVE A UNIQUE NICHE OF BEING IMMUNE TO DRAGON WHICH DESERVES THAT USAGE. FORRETRESS, TYRANITAR, EXCADRILL, AND EVEN KABUTOPS ARE AROUND THAT PERCENTAGE.
IF AZUMARILL TURNS OUT TO BE FAIRY THEN THERE'S A LIKELY CHANCE IT'S GOING TO TOBBLE KABUTOPS FROM UBER RAIN TEAMS DUE TO FREE SWITCH IN ON DRAGON ATTACKS AND IT'S MASSIVE ATTACK.
GARDEVOIR MIGHT BE ALRIGHT TO SWITCH INTO DRAGONS LOCKED INTO OUTRAGE, BUT SHE'S QUITE OUTCLASSED AS A SUPPORT, SO I EXPECT ~1 OR ~2% USAGE DUE TO PEOPLE WITH FETISHES.
CLEFABLE WILL BE FORCED TO UNDERGO A SUPPORT BUILD, BUT IT MIGHT BE EVEN BETTER THAN FORRETRESS DESPITE THE LACK OF RAPID SPIN. STEALTH ROCK/ENCORE/PROTECT/WISH/SOFTBOILED/HEALBELL/RANDOM ICE BEAMS? YES PLS.
