I don't think Fairies will have that big of an impact on Dragons as a lot of people are saying. Most of them are frail on the physical side so physical dragons like Garchomp can just kill them off with Earthquake or another coverage move. It's also advantageous for Dragons that Fairy-type is immune to their attacks. Outrage and Draco Meteor take full advantage of this because their side effects are negated when a Fairy type switches in on them. Outrage ends, allowing the Dragon to switch moves or switch out. Draco Meteor's special attack drop doesn't occur if it hits an immunity so something like Latios could just switch to Psyshock and hit the fairy on its weaker defense stat.
imo Togekiss is the most viable Fairy. Being Fairy/Flying gives it a lot of useful resistances and immunities, and it has an excellent move pool to utilize.
Mega Lucario is another MegaEvo to look out for. It's not as OP as Gengar or Blaziken but Adaptability Close Combat is nearly impossible to wall. Adaptability also makes Bullet Punch as strong as ExtremeSpeed. Its new speed (base 112) lets it beat things like Keldeo, Garchomp, and Salamence which could outspeed regular Lucario.
