Fairy/Steel is always overhyped by campaignshitters as the most broken type ever when half of them are shitmons and the other half are completely carried by broken abilities

>>59248568
The only more problematic combo than fairy/steel is electric/steel, or it would be if everyone and their mother didn't have an EQ on the team

>>59248568
Fairy/steel is an objectively excellent type combo that has practically zero good users.

>>59248568
>most broken type ever
That’s not even true in the first place.

>>59248568

How many other type combos could wreck as much havoc with Mega Mawile, Magearna, or Zacian's stats and abilities?

most of them
campaignshitters vastly overestimate the importance of type matchups

>>59248682
Probably a chunk of stuff that’s Ghost or Steel

This is the best type combination

>>59248682
ghost/fighting, water/fairy, ground/fairy, fire/fairy...
hell, even rock/ground could be ridiculous with a zacian spread given how insane stab on earthquake and rock slide would be with those stats.

>>59248682
>>59248682
The biggest issue is that all fairy/steels (apart from klefki which is a support mon) are physical attackers, and despite fairy’s enormous offensive presence, it’s worthless as a physical type since Play Rough sucks. The only fairy/steel special attacker is Magearna, which is ludicrously slow and also doesn’t get Moonblast for some reason (and is also a mythical so almost never permitted).

>>59248568
anyone worth their salt knows the best type in the game is water/fairy. primarina is OU in the most powercrept gen ever despite having no real ability and an average stat spread, purely because its typing is just that fucking good. there is no metric by which water/fairy doesn't excel, it's god tier both offensively and defensively.

>>59248682
Ghost/Normal would be terrifying on a mon with better stats and abilities than Horoark

>>59248561
Kingdra

Palkia

Dracovish

Walking Wake

Mega Feraligatr

>>59248802
>average stat spread
That thing is pretty minmaxed, I wouldn’t call its spread “average”

>>59248898
>primarina
>minmaxed
do words even mean anything anymore?

>>59248934
Minmax doesn’t just mean Deoxys-A

>>59249006
yeah, but it also doesn't mean "has a couple good stats so it's minmaxed now i guess"
like compare it to rhyperior, an offensive tank just like primarina with nearly the same BST
rhyperior is minmaxed, primarina is not

>>59248561
Anything 4x weak to freeze dry that isn’t otherwise 4x weak to ice moves

>>59248682
Several, actually.
Zacian would prefer to be either Fighting/Fairy or Steel/Fairy so its Close Combat would get STAB, which lets it hit most Steel and Fire types, and because Close Combat is way stronger than Behemoth Blade and Play Rough.
Mega Mawile would love to be Fairy/Dark since it’d also get STAB on Sucker Punch and Knock Off, and also gives Mawile an immunity to enemy Prankster.
Magearna would also be good with Fairy/Psychic as Stored Power is Magearna’s best set, though it still can appreciate the Fairy/Steel type defensively.
Fairy/Steel is great defensively, but actually pretty awful offensively. You have 2 whole mono types that resist both your STABs, both of which are extremely prominent defensively as well. As well as Toxapex too.
That’s why the real best typing is Ghost/Fighting. It’s one of the best offensive STAB combos only getting walled out by Normal/Ghost, being at least neutral to everything else, having good moves even without the signature moves like Poltergeist/Close Combat or Shadow Ball/Aura Sphere, and all while also still being great defensively.

>>59248934
Primarina literally has the single highest offensive stat of all starter Pokemon. Not only that, but it also has one of the biggest gaps between superior and inferior offenses among starters. I could be wrong, but I think only Rillaboom has a bigger gap between its Atk/SpA than Primarina, with Cinderace (a really minmaxed starter) being 1 point less.

>>59248568
Undoubtedly best type combo in the game next to Steel/Flying and Ground/Water

>>59248561
They are still too afraid to make a Ghost/ Dark with good stats

>>59248568
>fire/dark is bad because houndoom isn't used
this is how you sound. Anyway,
>implying mega mawile isn't busted as shit

>>59249632
we're getting mega absol z here soon bro, it's got 151/x/151 offenses... and possibly sharpness as an ability.

>>59249681
>makes a fanfic out of the post and then proceeds to name a fairy/steel that’s completely carried by a gimmick granting it a broken ability and is a complete shitmon otherwise
most intelligent campaignshitter

>>59249685
if the mons themselves are what determines whether a type is good or not then fairy/steel is a very powerful type.

>>59249549
ghost/fighting is unparalleled offensively but it's too much of a glass cannon type to be the best with poor resists and common weaknesses. fairy/steel comes up short offensively, and ghost/fighting comes up short defensively.
for my money the best type is probably water/fairy, as it has both incredible neutral coverage with few pokemon resisting its dual stab and most of them being total ass, as well as extremely good defensive properties with numerous important resists and few relevant weaknesses. 9/10 in both offense and defense.

>>59249632
They're too afraid to give Pokemon like Unfezant actual movepools so Ghost/Dark with good stats (outside of mega evolution) is out of the question.

>>59249816
>if the mons themselves are what determines whether a type is good
Literally no one said this, campaignshitter.

>>59249873
Yes, the post doesn’t say that. Glad you confirmed it, campaignshitter.

>>59249826
>but it's too much of a glass cannon type to be the best with poor resists and common weaknesses
Not really.
You are immune to Fighting and Normal, x4 resist Bug, and resist Rock and Poison. Fighting is one of the most common attacking types, and some of the most prominent moves include Fake Out, U-turn, Rapid Spin, Rock Slide, Stealth Rock, and Extreme Speed.
It still is great defensively, even if it doesn’t have as many resists as Fairy/Steel.

>>59248859
Tatsugirisisters...we are forgotten...?

>>59249909

>>59249568
Rillaboom and Cinderace are also somewhat minmaxed

is Psy/Water a good combo?

>>59249932
middling

>>59249913
Well, no point in arguing with someone who's illiterate.

>>59249950
You’re right, there isn’t.
