So far Jigglypuff, Sylveon, Marill, and Gardevoir.Looks like the fairy type rumors are true. Now all that remains to be seen are which pokemon are going to be fairy types.

They'll probably move up simply because of their use against dragon-types, but I'd say it's too early to say. We know nothing about new moves (fairy or otherwise), new pokemon that could make them less useful, or even sylveon's stats. However, I imagine if there are any good physical fairy-type moves, Azumarill could easily become OU.For now at least Fairy Typing is now Confirmed, so what Tier for Gardevoir and sylveon do you think it will be in?
So far poison's doing rounds. Which, the case being sounds OP for fairies right now because almost no one runs poison coverage. The future depends on how high fairy types go in usage, and how generally useful the typing is. (For eg: How steel is a great defensive type with solid neutral offensive coverage and not just a dragon cockblocker)they also haven't revealed the rest of their type effectiveness/weaknesses so until we know that we sould hold off on them being truly anti dragons for all we know gamefreak could had flubbed and made them weak to extremely common typing's.
No it is not. Nothing is confirmed except for the fact that Fairy is super effective on Dragon.Is the Dragon immunity confirmed?
Right now all I can find is it being weak to poison and steels (unconfirmed rumors)
From Serebii it says it's weak to Dragon. Pokemon XY also says the same. From the Pokemon XY also Fairy is weak to Ice. I would say take this with a grain of salt until more is confirmed, maybe the roundtable later will have more info.Is the Dragon immunity confirmed?

Do people really not know how to readFrom Serebii it says it's weak to Dragon. Pokemon XY also says the same. From the Pokemon XY also Fairy is weak to Ice. I would say take this with a grain of salt until more is confirmed, maybe the roundtable later will have more info.
Who says that it would? Until further info is released, rather than focusing on moves that might/not be released we should focus on a pokemon's current move pool.@Melee Mewtwo: Who says Fairy isn't going to get its own 50% recovery move?
and fire types will be gimped so even resisted fairy hits will put a nice dent after sr.
fires will resist fairy thoIs Not Very Effective Against: Fire, Psychic
I'd like to draw some attention to this one after watching the Second UK XY Trailer at about 1:20:OP said:Is Super Effective Against:Dragon, Dark, Fighting
A problem with this is that Hydreigon has 152 HP, that's a 0 IV in HP. I think Ivs may be screwing with this!I'd like to draw some attention to this one after watching the Second UK XY Trailer at about 1:20:
Here, we see the now part Fairy Gardevoir using what is obviously an offensive Fairy-type attack against the Dark/Dragon Hydreigon. We already know that Hydreigon is partially weak to Fairy because of its Dragon-type...but what of its Dark-type?
In the video, Hydreigon's HP falls to 56/152 after the use of Fairy Wind, which is about 63.1% damage. With that in mind, I did some calcs, making the following assumptions:
1. Hydreigon and Gardevoir are at Level 50 (Hydreigon was Level 50 in the video) and have no EVs and 31 in all IVs.
2. Both have neutral natures.
3. Both have no item.
4. Fairy Wind has 60 BP (inference from similarly named attacks Silver Wind and Ominous Wind).
Assuming this, we have provided only one of Hydreigon's types is weak to Fairy:
0 SpA Gardevoir (Move 1 = Fairy Wind) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Hydreigon: 90-108 (53.89 - 64.67%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
63.1% damage falls neatly in this range. But what if Dark is also weak to Fairy?
0 SpA Gardevoir (Move 1 = Fairy Wind) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Hydreigon: 180-216 (107.78 - 129.34%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Hmm...
Granted, we don't know Gardevoir's level or the true power of this new attack (and I made a lot of assumptions), but perhaps Fairy isn't actually super effective against Dark.
Whoops. XDA problem with this is that Hydreigon has 152 HP, that's a 0 IV in HP. I think Ivs may be screwing with this!
