The Fairy Type and Alterations to Type Chart

[vivian20]

Not yet, but eventualy they will have the same stat distribution.
But there are some calcs that sugest that gardevoir deals 4x damage on hydreigon, and only took 100hp, so that fairy wind has to be like bubbles. If thats true, sylveon could still ko gibite if it had base 110 spatk and modest nature or evs in spatk. Or if ground is weak to fairy.

In the exhibition match, Sylveon was being hit by a Special move (Hydro Pump), so maybe it could have 110/130 in Special Atk/Defense (or vice versa), the Special counterpart to Leafeon's physical Attack/Defense scores.

The Pokémon in that trailer featuring Gardevoir as a Fairy-type had Hydregion as a Pokémon with 0 IVs and EVs. This means that, assuming both natures are Bashful and Gardevoir had 0 IVs and EVs, Hydregion's main Sp. Def stat is 95 while Gardevoir's main Sp. Atk stat is 130. I'm not familiar with how damage calculations work.

It makes me wonder, if the following is true, why Fairy-types are strong against Dark-types.

Haven't flipped back to read anything before the last few pages, but do we know if Fairy Wind is a special or physical attack? Would it make more sense as a special move?

If so, then the stat distribution of Sylveon would look something like this:

95/x/x/110/130/x

 

[Blockhead Pippi]

I don't see why Fairy Wind shouldn't be a special move. It's not like Sylveon is running straight to Gabite to punch them in the stomach.

 

[vivian20]

Well, i im sure that fairy wind will be a special atk move. But i dont know about fairy kiss, do you think it will be physical or special?

So after reviewing all of the different demo footage I created this chart with all of the seen type interactions with Fairy. I hope I didn't miss anything.

I think that Drain Kiss would be a physical move. I suppose that it requires contact with the enemy.

Fairy-type attacks also inflict normal damage to Water-types.

In this video, you can see that Sylveon's Draining Kiss dealt normal damage to Politoed.

Politoed's Hydro Pump inflicted normal damage against Sylveon, meaning Fairy-Water has a neutral relationship on both sides.

 

[GiraFragMich]

You're right. I just woke up and realized I didn't review the Exhibition battle. I added both Water Interactions. Somewhere I read that Grass also recieves neutral damage from fairy but i didn't see any footage proving this. Can someone confirm?

Wait, how many turns passed since Trick Room was active?

Edit: Gallade has for HP 31 IVs and 252 EVs. Marowak has for HP 31 IVs and 0 EVs. This means that perfect EVs in a stat exists in the exhibition battle.

How are you folks so sure of this Fire resistance to Fairy?

Litleo is NORMAL/Fire =D

I saw a demo with Sylveon vs Fennekin and Fennekin resisted Fairy Wind.

 

[GiraFragMich]

Also we do know that Normal is hit for neutral damage by Fairy.

Edit: Gallade has for HP 31 IVs and 252 EVs. Cubone has for HP 31 IVs and 0 EVs. This means that perfect EVs in a stat exists in the exhibition battle.

It was on its 4th turn when Politoed was defeated (not counting the turn it was started). On the 3rd turn of TR Sylveon still moved last, so it was faster. But EVs/IVs could easily make Sylveon faster even with a lower base stat for speed.

Okay. Hmm.... since Politoed is HP EV trained, does that mean that Sylveon was not EV trained in HP?

I saw a demo with Sylveon vs Fennekin and Fennekin resisted Fairy Wind.

Can we verify that somewhere?

At 4:45 Fennekin resist Fairy Wind from Flabebe

[vivian20]

I think sylveon has to be trained in hp and spdef to resist that attack with around 40% hp.

 

[LimitCrown]

The Sylveon needs to be EV-trained in Speed in order to move last because of Trick Room, I think.
