Why are fairies weak to poison?

To make poison types relevant.

>>31158263
> Fairy are nature beings, usually magic forest spirits
> Poison-type are usually related to garbage, polution and contamination

Fairies weren't meant to make sense
They were literally only made for balance
Their attributes have nothing to do with actual fairies
They are weak against two types which before had little they were good against, and are good against three types with little weaknesses.

Here's a better question: why do Fairies resist Bug type?

>MFW Gamefreak made fire resist fairy just to protect their special snowflake.

Why isn't everything weak to poison?
>>>/S/cience

>>31159246
Because bug is shit and should remain shit.

>>31159144
Why the fuck do they resist bugs then

>>31159144
naa man, you are just too dumb to figure it out

>>31159904
Literally though. Fire had enough resistances, but it is still a shit type

Water isn't weak to Poison
Ice doesn't resist Water
Bug isn't effective against Fairy
Electric isn't effective against Steel

>>31159904
Can't blame them, fire is pretty shit defensively.

>>31159246
U-turn

>>31159904
fairy should be weak to fire as well
seriously that type is way to strong defensively

>>31159246
because Masuda is a horrible person

>poison
Fae are beings of nature and sensitive to toxicity.
>steel
Fae are weak to Cold Iron or something like that.

Yes the weaknesses and resistances were made for balance reasons but you can still come up with excuses

Better question is why isn't grass immune to fairy. I mean Faires do depend on nature and whatnot.

Water is GF's special snowflake though.

I was talking about Charizard

>>31159904
>the fans' special snowflake

The way I see it...

Fairy -> Dragon/Dark
>Dragons/Evil are the villains in fairy tales
Fairy -> Fighting
>Peace/Calmness in stead of violence and fighting

Steel -> Fairy
>Swords are often weapons in Fairy tales. Also, fairies exist in nature, far away from man made mechanization like steel.
Poison -> Fairy
>Poison is often the downfall/cause for strife in fairy tales, such as Snow White's poison apple and various evil potions, etc

Fairy should be weak to fire imotbhfam.

>>31160277
>implying fairies aren't the villains

>>31158263
Ever tried to fairy a poison? shit's time consuming as fuck

>>31160288
sauce?

>>31160288
I wanna cum on her tits.

>>31160036
>Cold Iron
This.

Y'all niggas need to play some DnD baka

>>31160277
Aren't faeries in old tales weakened against iron as well?

>>31160406
Yes, they are. It's very thematic. Although I feel like they just got lucky that it fit so well.

>>31160036
>Steel
>Man made, artificial
>Poison
>Pollution and toxins
>Fairies
>Natural, hippy tree hugging bullshit
>Humans cause contamination (poison) and fuck up nature and shit with their technology and machines (steel)
there go fuck off now

Fairy shouldn't resist Bug
Rock should be super effective against Fairy

Agree or Disagree

>>31161115
>Rock should be super effective against Fairy
le sneaky pebbles face

>>31159144
>made to balance dragons
>literally more broken than dragons were and the only thing holding them back is the lack of good Pokemon that are Fairy-types
>gen 7 remedied this with the tapus of healthy meta
why the FUCK do fairies resist bug? They have no business resisting an already shitty type

By that logic I wouldn't be too surprised if the only reason why fairies resists bug is for Gardevoir to not have x4 weakness to bug.

MAKE BUG TYPE NEUTRAL AGAINST FAIRY GAMEFREAK

NERFING BUG MAKES NO SENSE

RRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>31159938
Probably because fucking U-turn or something absolutely idiotic like that.

>>31161753
you mean x2 weakness

>>31159246
>>31159144
Because Bug would be too strong of an offensive type. It is supposed to make bugs types have synergy with other offensive types.

>>31162233
I'm pretty sure there's a rumor that the only reason that fairy resists bug is because of Heracross.

>>31159969
>what is torkoal
No it's not a good type defensivly what so ever

>>31162273
>Fire
>Steel
>Poison
>Flying
>Fighting
>Ghost

6 types resist bug not counting Fairy

>>31162340
Yes, it balances the game because if it didn't have enough resistances the game would be "lol specs bugbuzz" the meta. Look at water in comparison, it has good neutral coverage. You have to deal with shit like Keldeo.

You can say that about any type. What makes Bug so broken that they need to make it resisted by 1/3 of all types?

>>31163079
We don't need anthor type like that, retard?
