Honestly I'd prefer a dragon nerfing mist to a status protection mist. Put that on a a healing wall and you're golden against STAB dragon moves, just have to worry about coverage, and certain coverage types are more common than others.

^I think it's supposed to be like a squash with a long gourd part, rather than a candle.
Seems like a waste of a move-slot when you could just have a bulky fairy take hits while already being immune....do we even have fairies who are strong in physical defense? Or was I right about Game Freak and their inability to nerf dragons?

The mist may be useful in Double/Triple and Rotation battles though....if your team has trouble with Dragons.

If Blissey is a fairy guys, I don't even want to think about what will happen to Dragons. It wouldn't be pretty.

Well, most dragon are physical attacker while Blissey is a special tank. But with that 75 base Sp Atk with powerful fairy moves, Dragons would have trouble indeed.

Screw dragons, think about what would happen to special sweepers in general....you can't pair them up with a powerful physical fighting move or even hope to plow through Blissey with Nasty Plot Focus Blasts anymore. It'll definitely spell the end for Hydreigon.

Pretty sure it would still prefer Ice beam since most of the powerful Dragons are still x4 weak to it....and its not like its base 75 SAtk is going to do anything to Goodra anyway.

Basically the only counter would be a Steel Pokemon that could hit her hard with Physical Steel STAB.

Chansey would still probably be better though.....but on the plus side, unless Wish has become a move tutor, we at least don't have to worry about Wish Blissey in Wifi battles.

With Goodra, I would imagine a stand still most of the time.

If small Gourgeist looks like Marzipan from Homestar Runner...then the fat one can only look like Homsar or something.

Poison is super effective too. Maybe get some Coil action Gunkshot via Arbok up in there, and whatev's if the Blissy is running Toxic, Arbok don't care :D.

New metagame now revolves entirely around Blissey and Blissey-counters, like it's damn G2 all over again.

Well, I think we technically don't know if the Chancey line is fairy or not, right? Probably is though. Still waiting on word for Audino as well, and a couple other hopefuls.

Honestly though, whoever decided to give Blissy natural cure was pretty evil.

Watch new "Mega" tier, for banned pokes and Mega Ubers.
Don't you just LOVE Smogon? I certainly don't, those guys are insane and have pretty much dictated how people can battle anymore, and because of Mega Evolutions, it may go to the point where you can't do virtually anything in multiplayer battles. They have an obsession with tiers and seem to want to suck the fun out of battling.

I knew the fairy type would cause a metagame armageddon! MUAHAHAHA!
@Robo-Floatzel; IKR, and what's worse is that they have no creativity when it comes to ev's and movesets. It is also obvious they have brain damage because farfetch'd is in OU. How the hell did that happen?

JUST SHOW US THE HUGE GOURGEIST ALREADY GRRR

On the other hand, I'm more interested in the bottom screen - customizing the Pokeball thing your Pokemon is in during Pokemon-amie?

The huge gourgeist might be a pink butterfree-esque thing you know.
