Dark, Steel or Fairy? Post your fave if you have one, and some of your fave Pokemon from that type
>>
>>25718754
I actually like Fairy type, because some of the designs are goofy. Feels like a good fold for Ghost.

Excellent

>>25718754
Dark and Steel were fine editions, even though Steel should have been called Metal. Fairy is cancer, or at least most of the mons are.
>>
I'd like Fairy a lot more if it didn't resist bug

Seriously fuck game freak
>>
Fairy
Mostly due to pic related becoming that type, along with Togekiss and Snubbull who are also favorites of mine.

Also i think Diancie is great, don`t know what everyones problem with rock princess is.
>>
>>25718784
This and Togekiss make it for me too.
I guess Gardevoir has a good thing to stand out from being hoenn's half assed version of alakazam
I liked whimsicott and mawile before the change and it didn't really ruin them either.
Rest I couldn't care too much for, honestly.
>>
Dark by far, as it has a strong theme going with the underhanded moves and tactics. The match ups are easy to remember and overall it's a very versatile type that can fill many roles.

Steel is okay but it's too tanky for my tastes, and Fairy shouldn't have been introduced so late. I still have a hard time remembering how Fairy's effectiveness match ups work, there's just no logic you can apply to it.
>>
Personally I've always loved steel, but there's not many pure steel types. It's almost always a hybrid
>>
We need more cool fairies, like Gardevoir, Xerneas, and Mawile. Less pink blobs. Game Freak please.
>>
>>25718801
Easy, Fairies are the embodiment of nature, poison is commonly associated with pollution
In mythology fairies have an iron weakness.

Magic>Muscle
Fairies are a force of good, therefore kill dark types.
Fairies are also dragon atheists.

Fire resists fairy because megazard x.
Fairy resists bug because someone at gamefreak is afraid of spiders.
>>
>>25718754
Fairy honestly.
Gardevoir became a lot more useful to me and it became a staple type in a lot of the teams I use because of their usefulness. Sylveon in particular is definitely among one of my favourite 6th Gen additions.
Plus Klefki exists and I love fucking people over with it. I guess you could say it's a...KEY player in battles it's involved in!

Steel is probably my favorite of the three. I like Dark too. Not big on Fairy.
>>
Dark has the most interesting moves. Pursuit and Sucker punch are great for mind games.

Obviously fucking Steel
There are only 2 bad steel types
>>
>>25719140
What are the bad ones?
>>
>>25718754
Steel

Magneton

>>25719164
Cobalion and Dialga

Steel and Dark types have some really nice Pokemon designs and moves. I'm not too keen on fairy, most of the Pokemon end up being pink blobs. Also there's no need for it to resist bug.
>>
Robotic Pokemon are almost always Steel, so because of that I really like the typing. Dark is cool too.
>>
>>25718801
Fairies are magical nature sprites. I think the logic goes:

Weaknesses/NVE
>Poison harms nature so weakens Fairy power, is unnatural so hurts Fairies.
>Steel harms nature so weakens Fairy power, is unnatural so hurts Fairies. Fae are weak to cold steel.
>Fire harms nature so weakens Fairy power, is natural so not harmful to Fairies

Resistances/immunities/SE
>Magic beats muscle so effective against Fighting, muscle does not beat magic so resists fighting
>Magic beats underhandedness and negativity so effective against Dark, underhandedness and negativity do not beat magic so resists Dark
>Fuck Bugs a bit
>Fuck Dragons hard
>>
>>25719792
>Magic beats underhandedness and negativity so effective against Dark, underhandedness and negativity do not beat magic so resists Dark

What about dark magic?
>>
>>25719826
>What about dark magic?
Thats the exception, not the rule, most dark magic falls under ghost.

I like Steel type Pokemon more but Dark moves are more interesting and viable.
>>
???
Only superfans will get this ;^)
>>
>>25719164
Mawile and Lucario
>>
>>25718754
Fairy I guess for the sole reason that Gardevoir and Togekiss are some of my favorite pokemon. Also Xerneas is majestic. Steel has Metagross which is pretty cool.

I'm not too big on any of those types. Bug and Electric are the best.
>>
Easily Steel. Some of my favorites are Forretress, Bastiodon, and Escavalier.
>>
Definitely dark. Umbreon, Weavile, and Mightyena are among my top tier pokebros.
>>
Fairy of course
It shook everybody, powerful, cute and makes everyone mad
>>
>>25718754
Steel all day, every day.
>>
My bro of bros is Sneasel/Weavile so I'll say dark even though some really suck.
