@@izzyzoldyck7391It's the movie cliché about the martial artists beating up the "evil type" bandits or thugs. Or alternatively the fighting hero beating the evil villain in general.
Flying is weird because it refers to 3 things. 1. Control of the element air. 2. The physical act of flying, floating, levitating or however you want to put it. 3. Birds
I remember someone pointed out another reason being Flying can be related to Acrobatics and Agility, meaning when going against a Fighting type would be like if a Dexterity Build out speeds a Strength Build
Fairy beats dragon because dragons often get slain in fairy tales, often by a sword gifted by a mysterious fae-like entity, aka fairies give heros the weapons to say dragons like 8 times out of 10...
And fairy is weak to steel cause of the industrial revolution and it's a common thing with the face myth that they are poisoned by the steel and poison is cause your poisoning the environment

For the dragon being weak to fairy i think it’s because dragons normally get killed at the end of fairytales Edit: by RUclips law I have to say “mom look I’m famous” but hear me out …. what if I don’t
Also, half the time the person that kills the dragon gets given a weapon of some sort by a fairy, or fae, depending on how you wanna look at it. And if they're referring to Fae... yeah, suddenly Sylveon became a lot scarier.

European here A dragon burning down your village is bad, but if the faefolk gets miffed you will be in a realm of torment incomprehencible to the very fabric of your existence.
@@r.palmer Yes. In myth, Fairies dislike iron and also the destruction of nature, so in Pokemon they are weak to Steel and Poison-types (because it also represents pollution and decaying).
Fun fact: Avians have hollow bones to allow the flow of oxygen to circulate through their body at higher elevations. This means their bones are hollow and lighter. which, in turn, makes birds bones briddle. This is also why bird survive puncture wounds more often than pure force. In a survival scenario, the best way to kill a bird would be to use blunt force and create trauma in the center mass of a bird. This will shatter their bones, creating severe internal trauma and bleeding, effectively killing them in one good blow. So your argument for a martial artist to not be able to take on a bird kinda made me think... wait. I thought this was going in a different direction 😅. Sorry, but I've never played pokemon but i enjoyed the video lol
Because Faeries usually are the ones that are usually like “Here, take the Blade Of A Thousand Songs, and slay Ragimaur, The Dragon God of Soulhelm Mountain!”.
Nah dark is pretty good for that especially if its Yin and not evil because yin might be the opposite of yang but they are much more complex than good vs evil
Fairy being stronger than dragon makes sense due to the "good vs evil" archetype and that fairy tales usually talk about a dragon getting slain. Flying has to do with the sky and birds, so Fighting is weak to Flying due to high ground & you can't punch a bird easily.
Shiii you be a ghost/demon looking at a random person with their fist flaying around like a chicken running around with their head cut off and see if you still wanna mess with them
I thought it was more to do with the whole pen is mightier than the sword type line of thinking, like any warrior in a war is at the mercy of their tactician. That's how I've always thought of it.
Psychics beat fighting because if the mind is weak or defeated then it can't communicate with body on how to perform proper function to fight effectively
Oh shit youre right. That sounds awesome, if thats actually a kamen rider reference. Grasshopper man beats up evil . It would be cool if there was a bug fighting type that was just a kamen rider reference
Often in most mythologies, dragons are either slain or put to sleep by fairy intervention, They sort of act as the "brains over brawns" kind of foil to dragons
Nope. Fair folk across most myth rarely to outright never (depending on what region of the world) even interact with dragons by sheer narrative structure. Its explicitly the human (or human's gods) heroes that win with some sharp metal stick (or doom the dragon with its own curse or flaw, which would fall under ghost or maybe dark type under the idea of "tricking" the enemy).
@@ANDELE3025not to mention how in these tales, it’s usually stated that many have tried but none have lived to tell the tale, meaning even then it’s a winning matchup typically
" have you ever tried to punch a bird?" Has always been my personal reasoning for why flying type resists fighting type. I'm glad someone else has come to the same conclusion too!
Fairy is immune to dragons bc dragon pokemon control their power through basically an arcane power they obtained. Fairy types are basically the origin of that power. Thats the explaination that i have found. And also the fae are known to outsmart and be stromger than the most powerful of mages
Yeah, flying also represents sharp like attacks which eviscerate grass and the exposed and non armored fighting types. However flying type is resisted by steel and rock , 2 very hard objects!
@@JRG333 flying is representative of wind, birds, other flying creatures, and maybe sharp 'slash' attacks. However, bug is for sharp _cutting_ attacks like X-Scissor
Dragons are often portrayed as weak to magic. Specifically magic that messes with the mind. Fae magic is pretty in line with that. It actually makes sense.
@@kinguchiha6212 She very much could. Douse it in pixie dust and watch it float into space where it’ll eventually run out of air. There is seemingly no limitation to this fairy dust either. Garchomp would also be very unlikely to hit her at all due to her size.
I always just thought flying was effective against fighting because a fighting type can't reach a bird, but a bird can reach a fighting type, over and over and over.
For dragon vs fairy I like the explanation that Gnoggin proposed That being that dragons, while very powerful, they bend magic to their will, while faeries are more in tune with the natural magic itself and can basically cut off a dragons ability to even use magic(which is why they also can't be damaged by dragon moves) Poison being super effective against fairy types is representative of the pollution of nature, weakening the fae creatures And iron is often depicted in folklore as being able to repel fae creatures as well, hence the steel type being super effective as well.
Fairy type strengths treat them as the magical heroes that defeat beasts (dragon), villains (dark), and physical fighters (fighting). The weaknesses are ofc the nature fae aspect.
Ironically, inverse in most myths. Norse side Nidhogg outright breaks the source of magic for elves, dwarves, etc while they all die in poison. Slavic side Zir is the source of magic. China side the Imperial Dragons presence banishes demons and the any single of the 4 kings blessing protects a mortal from trickery to the point where a (hot blooded male) can even marry what is effectively a fairy without issue.
Fairy types beat dragon types because in fairy tales, the dragons are always slain. Flying types beat fighting types because of their height advantage, having attacks be easier than if a martial artist tried punching a bird.
And to cover ice, i faintly remember hearing this as a kid Dragons are like big lizards, lizards are reptiles, therefore they are weak to cold temperatures, its a stretch, but at least it gave ice a reason to exist
Also if you want to go with a European and China related point, said mythical dragons generally sleep or take on human form through the winter (or worse, if woken during winter go to sleep some other time and cause earthquakes due to it).
@@Mustideer White and Red dragon from the bri'ish, Bamborough girl/Serpent Maiden (/Melusine/the different variants of snake/dragon>girl>back to monster pipeline story, etc if we go by technicality even if melusine and a good chunk are likely narrative mixes of the serpent maid and a nymph story combined for a new/different moral, warning or lesson) its rarer to find a dragon that doesnt become or hide as human in the northern central parts, good chunk of the balkan dragons from regions less influenced by ottomans (tho even in regions of hungary one of the just "dragon" named dragons is a one who transforms into a giant rather than regular human), its romanian equivalent in zmeu (again meaning just "dragon") and Tugar Zmiy (again just... effectively just grief drago) that was either a western knight early on or Ghengis Khan later on for baltic adjacent russia to including outright half dragons (black school sorcerers/wondering scholars of magic) that in turn are likely tied to part lost old pagan religions as that legend tends to, all the way from central germany down through the alps to the northern part of the danube, somehow connected to weird out of context stories of Zirnitra/Zir (dragon "grandpa" of magic) including ones that explain 2 different mountains with same/similar name. If you count things that explicitly arent dragons due to lack of multiple limbs and that have feathers, you have the dragon king from Iron Gut/the Princes Plight story (in few versions described and later on illustrated as a more of a humanoid pterodactyl/xmen sauron), ala and azdah (chimeras, cockatrices and/or manticores if even given a form) from ex-ottoman regions, the main actual Melusine myth as mentioned prior as its more nymph compared to the Bamburgh laidly worm, etc.
Is not a stretch, just like flying types, dragons are "mythically" known to have gone extinct due to the ice age. Even scientifically reptiles are susceptible to the cold therefore the weakness is not really a stretch.
@@JRG333 it’s nothing to do with the ice age since they were mostly thought to still be alive and killed off by humans but it’s definitely because they are cold blooded
Fairy is strong against dragons because dragons are usually the villains in fairy tales and fairy types tend to represent "pure of heart" characters, so good vs evil. There's also the idea of Fairy type being the White Magic in RPGs while Dragon is the more destructive Black Magic. I guess Fairy, being the protective magic, can shrug offensive magic like it's nothing. Also the color white usually=good and the color black usually=evil, so you can look at it that way.
@@what.are.you.doing.stepbro I felt it might have been, but this is the internet. You can never know for sure. The "racist" joke was pretty funny. I wasn't upset or anything, and no hard feelings. 👍
This is wrong because fairys are weak to metal typing iron and silver being pure and holy hurts fairys meaning they aren't holy/light type. But they are strong against dragons because it's a spin on the common troupes of dragons being killed in fairy tales.
@@AJadedLizard it every type. Yes every type. Every type yeah. Every type I’ll get you and it will look like a bloody accident. except in the actual movie every type was anything
When I was younger I formed my own explanations for every weakness and didn’t even think about the phobias one for bug and psychic, I just thought that it was because bugs are irritating and break the psychics focus
The war between Fae, and Dragons is a long standing one in fantasy lore. Fae magic tends to be the most affective at taking down dragons. I believe a good amount of dragonslaying weapons use fae magic.
Yes fairy magic is the only thing that can rival dragon magic however fairies themselves are extremely weak this is why in story they enchant weapons with their powerful magic and use human champions to slay the dragons even though lets be honest 9/10 times the only reason the heroes win is because for whatever reason the dragons never use their most powerful ability to shoot fire hot enough to burn cities to the ground with ease
Nope. In fact it tends to explicitly fail as the tools of prior narrative arcs are ineffective against the dragon (Beowulf, Susanoo, etc). Its regular steel or using the dragons own flaws against them that slays dragons. If you count flying water serpents and hydras that cant fly nor have breath attacks beyond spitting, then wrestling works too.
@@sagexyz441 there magic is powerful but they’re not risking a fight with a dragon which is why they enchant weapons and use humans as champions to slay dragons fairies are physically weak compared to literally every creature but magically they can be extremely strong at the same time however like most other mythical creatures only a few can be as terrifying as a dragon
@conradlorgar5508 No fairy tales specifically talk about kids'' stories relating to medieval themes. Specifically what is being referred to is the stereotypical save the damsel from the dragon stories. Typically fairy tales include watered-down versions of the fae who are often responsible for assisting in defeating the bad guy. Even if it didn't there's a long history of magic being needed to kill a dragon and fairy in Pokemon is almost a shorthand for magic
@@tellg0t090 by that logic dragon should be weak to steel since in fiction dragons tend to be killed by a sword wielding knight and steel is just short hand for metal but instead magic is weak to steel and poison for some reason The issue i find in trying to justify why something is weak to another thing in pokemon is that there is no internal consistenc, each type will have one logical reason and then youll have another type reasoning that contradicts that
The Japanese LOVED Sleeping Beauty when it released and it formed a lot of their sensibilities when it comes to media, right down to Anime art style. In it, the fairies enchanted Phillip’s sword, which killed Malificent’s Dragon.
There are some explanations you can make for Dragon being weak to Fairy, but Fairy being outright Immune to Dragon rather than just resisting it was absolutely for game balance purposes because Dragon was becoming too strong of a type offensively. (It used to be incredibly spamable in gen 5 because only Steel resisted it. Also since Ice was a bad type dragons really only had to worry about other dragons for weaknesses). Similar to how Dark and Steel were only implemented in gen 2 because Psychic was blatantly overpowered in gen 1. Every time they implement a new type, it's always to nerf the strongest type currently in the game. To that end, whatever new type that gets added in the future will likely be made to nerf Fairy or Steel, as those are currently the best types in the game.
They nerfed fairy and steel by making the best type combinations have the worst attack lol that did not stop me from gigaton hammering my way through the entirety of pokémon violet. If they weren't a fucking coward about tinkaton's stat block they could have made legitimately one of the most terrifying creatures to ever exist in the entire pokémon world and it would be a 2 ft tall twin-tailed pink bird hater with a giant f*ck off hammer.
@@Jackie_XIII Tinkaton should have been fire/fairy. It would make it hunting Corviknight more apt (especially because the lore is confirmed in-game, with Tinkatons at the top of the mountain yet many Corviknights inside Area Zero).
I always thought that bug types were strong against psychic types because psychic types were considered to be the strongest type of Pokémon and the creator of Pokémon used to bug hunt, so he implemented his bias for his hobby into the Pokémon strength chart 🐝🦋🐛 -Adam
He then proceeded to give basically the only damaging Bug-type move in the first three games to...Jolteon. He also accidentally made Psychic immune to Ghost. It was a bit scuffed.
Yep, this is Pokémon. Expect the Fiary beating Dragon types make sense. Dragons are usually defeated by magical creatures in fairytales. Some weaknesses can be questionable by some people, though. Both weaknesses that are and aren't added.
„What about fair beats dragon type?“ *Plotarmor*… If fairy represents the good and dragon represents the bad… yeah good luck beating someone with plotarmor…
Eh, not quite. Fairies in Pokémon are frequently depicted as being mischevious, kleptomaniac, and just plain manipulative (they can also be pure and sweet, but not always). That's why the angelic Mega Absol doesn't have the Fairy type, but the nasty Grimmsnarl does.
Fighting-type is about honorable combat, so they are strong against hard things but ineffective against frail things that only bullies would beat up (bugs, birds and nerds).
I thought the Bug resistance to fighting has to do with the martial arts movie stereotype of trying to catch a fly/grasshopper to prove mastery of the martial art.
Lmao what 😂😂😂 bro it's because fighting represents fighting. Punching is effective against breakable (steel is iffy but it can be considered rigid and can be broken with enough force) birds and bugs are harder to hit , and psychic it's about brain over strength
When you think about it, Dragon and Fairy are two flavors of “magic type.” I think Lockstin/Gnoggin was the one I originally heard this from, but when I think about it, it makes sense. Dragon is the untamed, powerful side of magic. You might even call it dark/black magic (no, nothing to do with Dark types- they’re more about being shifty and elemental darkness). Meanwhile, Fairy corresponds with the fae and their “magic” is more lighthearted and happy- deceptively or otherwise. Hence all the pink coloration, cutesy names like “Play Rough,” “Baby Doll Eyes,” etc. They’re strong against Dragon because light magic is supposed to prevail over dark magic (kinda like Fighting v Dark, in a way.)
lockstin/gnoggin had a different reasoning. the explanation they gave is that draconic magic forces the magic into what the dragon wants, but fae magic directs the magic naturally, so the forced magic is weaker than the natural magic
Dragon is weak to fairy because in fairytales the dragon always loses against the main character. Although, the dragon is know to kill most knights so, they resist Steel. But that isn't to overlook that fact they are cold blooded and can't withstand Ice. Not to mention, if a Dragon and another Dragon where to get into a fight, they both know thier weakness
I'm from the US south, I absolutely have and I nail the bastards quite often lol A better question would have been have you ever tried to hit one with a sword because I can confirm that's much harder 😂
I’ve always thought of the fighting weaknesses as Mike Tyson doesn’t expect someone to be fifty feet off the ground, pull a quarter from his ear, or talk about neverland

"How you ever tried to punch a bird mother fu-" killed me
Fun fact:
Avians have hollow bones to allow the flow of oxygen to circulate through their body at higher elevations. This means their bones are hollow and lighter. which, in turn, makes birds bones briddle. This is also why bird survive puncture wounds more often than pure force.
In a survival scenario, the best way to kill a bird would be to use blunt force and create trauma in the center mass of a bird. This will shatter their bones, creating severe internal trauma and bleeding, effectively killing them in one good blow.
So your argument for a martial artist to not be able to take on a bird kinda made me think... wait. I thought this was going in a different direction 😅. Sorry, but I've never played pokemon but i enjoyed the video lol

The Dark type is a mistranslation of the Japanese term for Evil type, and evil is a pretty good way to become scared/distracted

Fairy being stronger than dragon makes sense due to the "good vs evil" archetype and that fairy tales usually talk about a dragon getting slain. Flying has to do with the sky and birds, so Fighting is weak to Flying due to high ground & you can't punch a bird easily.
Afraid of the dark... punch it
Pokemon logic
Good vs evil fighting represents a hero and dark a villain
That's a translation error. Dark type in Japanese is referred to as "evil". So fighting evil

It's because fighting type also represents courage and dark type represents cowardice.

Fighting is weak to psychic because a martial artist’s greatest weakness is their own crippling self doubt.

Often in most mythologies, dragons are either slain or put to sleep by fairy intervention,
They sort of act as the "brains over brawns" kind of foil to dragons
Nope. Fair folk across most myth rarely to outright never (depending on what region of the world) even interact with dragons by sheer narrative structure.
Its explicitly the human (or human's gods) heroes that win with some sharp metal stick (or doom the dragon with its own curse or flaw, which would fall under ghost or maybe dark type under the idea of "tricking" the enemy).

Fairy is immune to dragons bc dragon pokemon control their power through basically an arcane power they obtained. Fairy types are basically the origin of that power. Thats the explaination that i have found. And also the fae are known to outsmart and be stromger than the most powerful of mages
Honestly, grass and fighting being weak to flying has always made complete sense, idk why ppl complain abt those ones so much
Yeah, flying also represents sharp like attacks which eviscerate grass and the exposed and non armored fighting types. However flying type is resisted by steel and rock , 2 very hard objects!
@@JRG333 flying is representative of wind, birds, other flying creatures, and maybe sharp 'slash' attacks. However, bug is for sharp _cutting_ attacks like X-Scissor
Dragons are often portrayed as weak to magic. Specifically magic that messes with the mind. Fae magic is pretty in line with that. It actually makes sense.
Well that logic would've had psychic be super effective

I always just thought flying was effective against fighting because a fighting type can't reach a bird, but a bird can reach a fighting type, over and over and over.
Yeah… trying to punch a bird is very hard because they fly out of range
also... have you ever tried to punch a bird?
most calm “what the fuck” i’ve ever heard this man deliver.
I appreciate a good Mike Myers Cat in the Hat reference 😂😂
AND IT'LL LOOK LIKE A BLOODY ACCIDENT
For dragon vs fairy I like the explanation that Gnoggin proposed
That being that dragons, while very powerful, they bend magic to their will, while faeries are more in tune with the natural magic itself and can basically cut off a dragons ability to even use magic(which is why they also can't be damaged by dragon moves)
Poison being super effective against fairy types is representative of the pollution of nature, weakening the fae creatures
And iron is often depicted in folklore as being able to repel fae creatures as well, hence the steel type being super effective as well.
Solid.
I thought the poison and fairy would be from the fairytale sleeping beauty
@@Slimey_alien89nice theory too.
Fairy type strengths treat them as the magical heroes that defeat beasts (dragon), villains (dark), and physical fighters (fighting). The weaknesses are ofc the nature fae aspect.
Ironically, inverse in most myths.
Norse side Nidhogg outright breaks the source of magic for elves, dwarves, etc while they all die in poison.
Slavic side Zir is the source of magic.
China side the Imperial Dragons presence banishes demons and the any single of the 4 kings blessing protects a mortal from trickery to the point where a (hot blooded male) can even marry what is effectively a fairy without issue.
[Random Flying type]: "It's over [random Fighting type] I have the High Ground. "
Fairy types beat dragon types because in fairy tales, the dragons are always slain. Flying types beat fighting types because of their height advantage, having attacks be easier than if a martial artist tried punching a bird.
Was NOT expecting a reference to Mike Myers Cat in the Hat. Lmao thanks for the nostalgia trip!
I know right that was funny when I was a kid and still is😊
Glad I'm not the only one that caught that
And to cover ice, i faintly remember hearing this as a kid
Dragons are like big lizards, lizards are reptiles, therefore they are weak to cold temperatures, its a stretch, but at least it gave ice a reason to exist
Also if you want to go with a European and China related point, said mythical dragons generally sleep or take on human form through the winter (or worse, if woken during winter go to sleep some other time and cause earthquakes due to it).
@@ANDELE3025European dragons turning into humans when is this from?
@@Mustideer White and Red dragon from the bri'ish, Bamborough girl/Serpent Maiden (/Melusine/the different variants of snake/dragon>girl>back to monster pipeline story, etc if we go by technicality even if melusine and a good chunk are likely narrative mixes of the serpent maid and a nymph story combined for a new/different moral, warning or lesson) its rarer to find a dragon that doesnt become or hide as human in the northern central parts, good chunk of the balkan dragons from regions less influenced by ottomans (tho even in regions of hungary one of the just "dragon" named dragons is a one who transforms into a giant rather than regular human), its romanian equivalent in zmeu (again meaning just "dragon") and Tugar Zmiy (again just... effectively just grief drago) that was either a western knight early on or Ghengis Khan later on for baltic adjacent russia to including outright half dragons (black school sorcerers/wondering scholars of magic) that in turn are likely tied to part lost old pagan religions as that legend tends to, all the way from central germany down through the alps to the northern part of the danube, somehow connected to weird out of context stories of Zirnitra/Zir (dragon "grandpa" of magic) including ones that explain 2 different mountains with same/similar name.
If you count things that explicitly arent dragons due to lack of multiple limbs and that have feathers, you have the dragon king from Iron Gut/the Princes Plight story (in few versions described and later on illustrated as a more of a humanoid pterodactyl/xmen sauron), ala and azdah (chimeras, cockatrices and/or manticores if even given a form) from ex-ottoman regions, the main actual Melusine myth as mentioned prior as its more nymph compared to the Bamburgh laidly worm, etc.
Is not a stretch, just like flying types, dragons are "mythically" known to have gone extinct due to the ice age. Even scientifically reptiles are susceptible to the cold therefore the weakness is not really a stretch.
@@JRG333 it’s nothing to do with the ice age since they were mostly thought to still be alive and killed off by humans but it’s definitely because they are cold blooded
Fairy is strong against dragons because dragons are usually the villains in fairy tales and fairy types tend to represent "pure of heart" characters, so good vs evil.
There's also the idea of Fairy type being the White Magic in RPGs while Dragon is the more destructive Black Magic. I guess Fairy, being the protective magic, can shrug offensive magic like it's nothing. Also the color white usually=good and the color black usually=evil, so you can look at it that way.

When I was younger I formed my own explanations for every weakness and didn’t even think about the phobias one for bug and psychic, I just thought that it was because bugs are irritating and break the psychics focus
The war between Fae, and Dragons is a long standing one in fantasy lore. Fae magic tends to be the most affective at taking down dragons. I believe a good amount of dragonslaying weapons use fae magic.
Yes fairy magic is the only thing that can rival dragon magic however fairies themselves are extremely weak this is why in story they enchant weapons with their powerful magic and use human champions to slay the dragons even though lets be honest 9/10 times the only reason the heroes win is because for whatever reason the dragons never use their most powerful ability to shoot fire hot enough to burn cities to the ground with ease
Nope. In fact it tends to explicitly fail as the tools of prior narrative arcs are ineffective against the dragon (Beowulf, Susanoo, etc).
Its regular steel or using the dragons own flaws against them that slays dragons.
If you count flying water serpents and hydras that cant fly nor have breath attacks beyond spitting, then wrestling works too.
@@Goultardtheiopgodfairies are most definitely not weak and can fight with magic alone not needing physical weapons

Fairy being strong against dragon does actually make sense in a fairy tale kind of way.
A fairytale is just another word for kids story, nothing to do with fairys
@conradlorgar5508 No fairy tales specifically talk about kids'' stories relating to medieval themes. Specifically what is being referred to is the stereotypical save the damsel from the dragon stories. Typically fairy tales include watered-down versions of the fae who are often responsible for assisting in defeating the bad guy. Even if it didn't there's a long history of magic being needed to kill a dragon and fairy in Pokemon is almost a shorthand for magic
@@tellg0t090 by that logic dragon should be weak to steel since in fiction dragons tend to be killed by a sword wielding knight and steel is just short hand for metal but instead magic is weak to steel and poison for some reason
The issue i find in trying to justify why something is weak to another thing in pokemon is that there is no internal consistenc, each type will have one logical reason and then youll have another type reasoning that contradicts that

The Japanese LOVED Sleeping Beauty when it released and it formed a lot of their sensibilities when it comes to media, right down to Anime art style. In it, the fairies enchanted Phillip’s sword, which killed Malificent’s Dragon.
They gave him the sword *and* shield, then buffed the sword for Phillip to impale Dragon Maleficent with it.
my favorite is flying being weak to rock because you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone
The reasoning behind fairy types being strong against dragons is Fairy tales, The hero slays the dragon, Ya putz
There are some explanations you can make for Dragon being weak to Fairy, but Fairy being outright Immune to Dragon rather than just resisting it was absolutely for game balance purposes because Dragon was becoming too strong of a type offensively. (It used to be incredibly spamable in gen 5 because only Steel resisted it. Also since Ice was a bad type dragons really only had to worry about other dragons for weaknesses).
Similar to how Dark and Steel were only implemented in gen 2 because Psychic was blatantly overpowered in gen 1.
Every time they implement a new type, it's always to nerf the strongest type currently in the game.
To that end, whatever new type that gets added in the future will likely be made to nerf Fairy or Steel, as those are currently the best types in the game.
They nerfed fairy and steel by making the best type combinations have the worst attack lol that did not stop me from gigaton hammering my way through the entirety of pokémon violet.
If they weren't a fucking coward about tinkaton's stat block they could have made legitimately one of the most terrifying creatures to ever exist in the entire pokémon world and it would be a 2 ft tall twin-tailed pink bird hater with a giant f*ck off hammer.
@Jackie_XIII they didn't learn their lesson with mega mawile but they did with zacian
@@Jackie_XIII Tinkaton should have been fire/fairy. It would make it hunting Corviknight more apt (especially because the lore is confirmed in-game, with Tinkatons at the top of the mountain yet many Corviknights inside Area Zero).

Yep, this is Pokémon. Expect the Fiary beating Dragon types make sense. Dragons are usually defeated by magical creatures in fairytales. Some weaknesses can be questionable by some people, though. Both weaknesses that are and aren't added.
„What about fair beats dragon type?“
*Plotarmor*… If fairy represents the good and dragon represents the bad… yeah good luck beating someone with plotarmor…
Dragons use the mystical power of destruction, Fairies use the mystical powers of life and in the end life always find a way.
Because the fairy type is also considered the "morally good" type and dark and dragon are considered "morally evil" types
Eh, not quite. Fairies in Pokémon are frequently depicted as being mischevious, kleptomaniac, and just plain manipulative (they can also be pure and sweet, but not always). That's why the angelic Mega Absol doesn't have the Fairy type, but the nasty Grimmsnarl does.

Gabe didn't know about the Emu War, apparently
Fighting-type is about honorable combat, so they are strong against hard things but ineffective against frail things that only bullies would beat up (bugs, birds and nerds).
Or brains > Brawn
Also, yes. Fighting hates dishonor, hence them beating dark types.
I thought the Bug resistance to fighting has to do with the martial arts movie stereotype of trying to catch a fly/grasshopper to prove mastery of the martial art.
Lmao what 😂😂😂 bro it's because fighting represents fighting. Punching is effective against breakable (steel is iffy but it can be considered rigid and can be broken with enough force) birds and bugs are harder to hit , and psychic it's about brain over strength
When you think about it, Dragon and Fairy are two flavors of “magic type.” I think Lockstin/Gnoggin was the one I originally heard this from, but when I think about it, it makes sense. Dragon is the untamed, powerful side of magic. You might even call it dark/black magic (no, nothing to do with Dark types- they’re more about being shifty and elemental darkness). Meanwhile, Fairy corresponds with the fae and their “magic” is more lighthearted and happy- deceptively or otherwise. Hence all the pink coloration, cutesy names like “Play Rough,” “Baby Doll Eyes,” etc. They’re strong against Dragon because light magic is supposed to prevail over dark magic (kinda like Fighting v Dark, in a way.)
lockstin/gnoggin had a different reasoning. the explanation they gave is that draconic magic forces the magic into what the dragon wants, but fae magic directs the magic naturally, so the forced magic is weaker than the natural magic
I do like Lockstin's explanation too. It makes sense to me.
Its because
"I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND ANAKIN"
I was looking for this comment…
Hahahaha the Cat in the Hat reference tho and I'll be honest that was my fav part in that movie.
Dragon is weak to fairy because in fairytales the dragon always loses against the main character.
Although, the dragon is know to kill most knights so, they resist Steel. But that isn't to overlook that fact they are cold blooded and can't withstand Ice. Not to mention, if a Dragon and another Dragon where to get into a fight, they both know thier weakness
for the last one why isn’t steel effective against flying have you ever tried to snipe a bird🦅
