However, to avoid any unexpected Horseplay, Magcargo should activate his Shell Smash after being hit to unleash his Horse forme and be able to guarantee a OHKO on Horsea the next turn. All he would require is a Speed EV of 56 a speed boosting nature. Unfortunately, there is no way to defeat Horsea using the flagship move High Horsepower unless Magcargo was willing to dirty his hooves by acquiring the illicit Groundium Z Crystal. For the sake of the Horse Council, I pray that he has not resorted to this knavery.

I really feel like people over exaggerate how good fairy is. It is the best type in the game yes.

I think the ghost type currently is much more of a problem and needs a type chart change more than fairy for example.
@Glory2SnowstarАй бұрын
I actually agree, honestly. Fairy's seen as broken because it's a prime counter to three other incredible Types, and its existence validates a bunch of Poison-Types that otherwise would have rotted in NU. Ghost on the other hand is a LUDICROUS offensive Type, only balanced by Shadow Ball's low BP. I think I'd make Rock resist Ghost, due to tombstones + ceremonial salts, and to give it SOMETHING over Ground.

I feel like there’s a Pokémon that appreciated the addition of Fairy-Types so much that even Game Freak effectively referenced this in The Indigo Disk. Players may recall Lacey having an Exacdrill on her Fairy-Type team, which at first glance only looks like a reference to who her father is. But credit where credit is due for Game Freak making us aware of this type synergy- this thing has winning matchups not only against most Fairy-Types, but also Poison, Steel, and is even a Steel-Type itself that can lure out Fire-Types with its own Ground STAB. The only other Pokémon who even comes close is Heatran, who does quad-resist Fairy and has good matchups into Fire (thanks to Flash Fire), Poison, and Steel, but is also noticeably slower and doesn’t have some of the extra utility Excadrill does, such as Rapid Spin, Sand Rush, and Swords Dance.

About the use of Scald on Tapu Fini in Gen VII that you mention at 28:54, another scenario where it becomes a much better click is when you come back in right as the misty terrain is about to fade (more common when there's a Fini on the opponent's team as well). In that sense, Scald kind of feels like it creates a win-win situation, because you are either safe from status yourself or threaten to spread it. There's also Gen VIII, where defog removes terrain effects, and opposing defoggers suddenly have to fear the burn. Granted, that barely comes up, because the common defoggers all happen to fly anyway (unless they switch out to a grounded physical threat afterwards). But I always thought this was an interesting little interaction, where they might become less inclined to remove hazards in fear of the status. Of course, people probably wouldn't run it based on these fringe cases alone.
I think it’s kinda funny that, similar to Steel type, Fairy was introduced to reign in other types to nerf them a bit but then the new type just became the new best type instead.

If you wanna be pedantic about it, freeze dry was introduced in gen 6, not gen 7, though since it was Aurorus’s signature move back then it didn’t really feel like it existed til gen 7

in gen 7 due to order change being on the same turn as mega evolving and the slight nerf to sucker punch and extra counters made it more challenging for mega mawile but having good defenses intimidate and the highest attack in the game by far (more even than a choice band deoxys-attack) did still make mega-mawile possibly a bit too much especially with having an amazing move set with coverage for every single one of your weaknesses and swords dance and alright utility for doubles via a powerful rock slide. though the slow speed is a bit weakness for sure.

Magearna was banned from gen 8 because of Shift Gear, Calm Mind, Stored Power, and Draining Kiss. That set was impossibly good and made it an unstoppable monster. With team support and its good stats, it was more like a gen 3 top tier in its versatility and EV tweaking, it could literally do whatever it wanted in a team slot and get away with it, while all the other mons struggled to manage their own niches in comparison. I personally think its peak modern competitive design, because that versatility makes for a very interesting pokemon that can cover many archetypes and roles with the right stat spread and items. If more mons were designed like Mag, I think the meta would benefit from it.

Magearna going to Ubers in gen 8 wasn’t about reverse power creep, it’s cause mag got buffed. Draining kiss to assist on CM sets and trick for specs were the big ones I think

This horse council business has become completely unstable. They are forgetting why the horse council was created in the first place. Only those with a high enough power(of the horse variety) were able to join and control things from behind the scenes. I think it would behoove everyone to reign things in and take a look at the larger picture. They shouldn’t be fighting each other, they should be fighting so seahorses and snailhorses and even ryhorses can get along and control the world from the shadows.

High Horsepower automatically debunks you as a horse, because a draft horse cannot muster more power than it has, and a non-draft horse cannot muster more power than a draft horse, and I doubt there has been any lifeform on this planet that could muster the same power as _100K_ draft horses.

I think at this point I don't think Fairy is the clear #1 type. I view it as a sort of midground in offense and defense compared to Steel being the best defensive type and Dark/Ghost being the best offensive types. I do think Steel/Fairy is still probably the best type combination although Steel/Ghost is pretty ridiculous too. Edit: Also, I don't think Magearna being banned in Gen 8 was just because the power level decreased (although that was a factor as well). Magearna gained Stored Power and I believe Draining Kiss as well. Its double boosting set with those 2 moves basically made it the perfect sweeper.

Horsea: Magcargo, are you a horse because you know high horsepower? Or do you know high high horsepower because you’re a horse?
@bubbykins4864Ай бұрын
Neither, because 100,000 Horsepower disqualifies you from being a horse. Technically, being a Pokémon should already do so, but being able to muster far more power than Mudsdale doesn't sound like a trait that Mudsdale should have if it were truly equine by Pocket Monster standards, for that would create a paradox, meaning that in order to consider Mudsdale equine, you thus pin the death of every Sada/Turo and the near death of every Arven's Mabosstiff on every Mudsdale that knows High Horsepower.

252+ SpA Horsea Bubble Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Magcargo: 264-312 (81.4 - 96.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Our boy is fine, phew However: 0 SpA Magcargo Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Horsea: 270-318 (134.3 - 158.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO If Magcargo is ready, and willing, the horse rebellion could be ended right here and now. Does our hero have it in him to obliterate the smaller, but undeniably cruel Horsea? Would the usage of Hyper Beam in fair combat lead to a convention banning the use of Moves of Mass Destruction? Is it really worth it to plunge the world of PokeLaw into years of controversy, just to be recognized as a Horse? Magcargo ponders, and we will have to see in the next installment

Wish you talked about how Fairy might have impacted the meta if the Pokémon who had the typing now had the type in earlier gens.

I think the best 5 types currently are Ghost, Water, Fairy, Dragon, & Steel. Fairy only exposed the type chart imbalances more.
