I am thrilled about these new types. As a quick note, I'm really hoping that earlier rumor proves to be true. Water / Fairy Milotic would only have 3 weaknesses alongside 3 resistances, a dragon immunity, and have a distinguishing factor over other water types. Grass / Fairy Celebi would be an amazing defensive typing, while Ghost / Fairy Mismagius would have fantastic neutral coverage with very few weaknesses. Good stuff
Has anyone thought of the possibility that fairy wind is a priority attack? Not much of a competitive player but a SE priority against dragons that dragons can't abuse would be an good nerf i think. Also could the lion cub evolve into a fire\fight? It fits with the whole lion concept and GF seems to have a hard-on for the type combo
but since when was justin bieber a pikmin
If Dual-typed moves get introduced and they work the way that Stellar mentioned, what would be some existing moves that would have dual-type? Muddy Water could be treated as a Ground-type move when attacking, Freeze Shock as an Electric-type move and Ice Burn as a Fire-type move (finally giving triple STAB to the two Dragons as it was expected by many), Mega Kick and Mega Punch as Fighting-type moves, and Razor Wind as a Flying-type move.
Other ideas?
Other ideas?
Fairy Wind is striking me as a Fairy-type Silver Wind.
As for Fairy-type itself can't wait to see which of past mons are Fairy now (besides the announced ones of course).
Also is anyone else bothered by Furabebe not being Fairy/Grass
"It's not actually the flower, but it has to find a flower which it then protects its entire life."
Sure the flower is not part of its body. It just adopts it, but still would have been cool if it was Fairy/Grass. Maybe its evolution is (assuming it has one).

Dat new eevee Slyveon.
Flash Cannon... Steel treated... + Electric
Draco Meteor... Dragon treated... +Rock/Fire
i'm not sure about muddy water. sure, it's got mud in it, but it's still mostly a water-based attack...
mega kick and mega punch should just become fighting as it makes no sense that they're not imho - but it makes sense as they really don't do anything special and it'd be cool to let them have a real reason to be used [and it'd be really helpful as a way to break through rocks and steels, as normals have trouble with that via their normal STAB attacks]
how about power gem for faerie or dragon or something? rock definitely makes sense, but power gem - to me at least - brings to mind a sort of magical quality that rock lacks, but faerie or dragon might have.
Define poor
It'll almost certainly have the standard eon stats in some arrangement, and I wouldn't be inclined to call them poor
Can't the methodology of dual-type moves be confirmed first before we speculate too far into left field?
(Blaze Kick really should be a Fire move that hits like a Fighting move, and I'd make Wake-up Slap a Fighting move that hits like a Normal attack)

It depends on where its 130 and 110 stats fall, along with its move pool. If it winds up being an awkward Flareon, then it'll be in trouble. If it's more like Jolteon or Espeon, then more power to it.
If one of the Eeveelutions has been proposed to be Fairy, then the other Eeveelution must be Dragon.
Err, what? Sylveon appears to be the only Eeveelution that'll be introduced this Gen. I mean, it'd be weird for it to get all the focus if there's another one waiting in the wings. Plus you'd have expected there to be some leak.
IF there is another one even if it 95% likely since we saw 2 new ones in the fourth gen so it could be an even numbered thing and Game Freak just wants to not have us die from heart attacks.
It was MageLeif (Pokebeach's source) who got last Corocoro issues' names right.
You know how they have added both ability algorithms in Gen V (the one used in Gen III and the newer one)? They're probably going to do it with Hidden Power: if it's from RSE-BW2, it uses the old formula; if it's from XY, uses the newer one.
Not a rumor, only wishful thinking. But yeah, I really want that one. People correctly predicted Gardevoir; if she was eligible for being a Fairy, Mismagius is pretty much guaranteed.
It could have 60 BP if Hydreigon has 252 SDef EVs and Gardevoir has ~10 SAtk IV. That Hydreigon didn't even have 31 HP IV, so we know they're not properly trained/bred already lol.
Misdreavus (not sure about Mismagius) is based on the banshee; considering we've Gardevoir (???) and Marill (??????) as Fairies already, I'd guess the type could be an umbrella for magical/folkloric pokémon.
That, and I really want Mismagius to have near-perfect coverage.
Ah, sorry. Thought I'd seen that somewhere in a list of Pokemon to be retyped (I think Mawile was on it, too). There's still a chance, I guess, seeing as it's a witch and fairy tales have tons of witches.
Thanks to this comment, I want to see Ursula and Maleficent made into Fairy Pokémon.

This makes all kinds of sense when you look at it's design. Not only does it have a stinger on it's tail, but it has a tan face and wide eyes that look like they would belong on a human character, not an animal. I doubt that they would go so far as to give it a human face, but the similarities are there as a homage to the man/lion/scorpion hybrid that makes up a true manticore. This makes me even more excited to see his evolution(s), they could end up being really cool Pokemon. The only Pokemon out of the E3 bunch that I don't care for is the pink butterfly (Vivillon?). It's design seems so low effort to me. My favorite by far is Noivern, who I'm pretty in love with. The poison/water Skrelp is really neat as well. I'm really liking this gen so far, more than the past two gens already.
Does the appearance of Houndour in the games suggest that their might be a Houndoom evo this gen? It's an exciting yet terrifying proposal for me, as they could easily ruin my favorite Pokemon with a badly designed evo. I didn't like any of the evolutions given to old Pokemon in gen 4, so it scares me a little.
Witches have strong ties with supernatural aspects and the occult... which seems to be the idea behind Fairy type anyway.
Maleficent is an evil fairy queen... a common concept behind fairies. So I think her chances are pretty good.Yveltal said:
