Was supposed to be another regional pikachu but GF decided that Fairies are on the rise
rly even bulbapedia can't explain that shit
>>32401527
according to French anons it's something to do with the tooth fairy over there
can't remember exactly what
why does it even exist outside of being another pikachu clone? does anyone even use it?

Merchandising. Pikaclones sell merch like crazy.
> GF introduces new typing
> Fairy designs mostly crappy
> Decide to slap on Fairy typing on older pokemon to make up for lack of ideas
> Need to distinguish pikachu clone #7 somehow
> Is fairy now
>>32401527
Gen 2 introduced breeding so we got Pichu
Gen 3 introduced double battles so we got Plusle & Minun
Gen 4 just gave us a pikaclone because of the tradition so we got Pachirisu
Gen 5 was a soft reboot so they gave us Emolga
Gen 6 introduced fairy so they gave us Dedenne as a Pika Fairy
>>32401527
Why are you?
>Can't even learn dazzling gleam.
Bullshit gamefreak.
>>32401527
Because you wouldn't have remembered it otherwise.
>>32401600
Not just France, many European traditions have a fairy rodent as their tooth fairy.
>>32401674
Not going to disagree with you there, outside of Xerneas, Flabebe line, and the Carbuncles, Kalos Fairy designs were utter shit tier. Dedenne is probably one of my most hated designs ever.
>tfw this thing's physical movepool is better than it's special movepool
>tfw they introduced a way stronger and better looking electric/fairy next gen
>>32402165
Funny, Tapu Koko has a higher attack stat but a better special movepool and no physical Fairy STAB. Its Dedenne but reverse somewhat.
>>32401527
Idk? But it kinda sucks. Kinda wish all pika clones had a secondary typing. Just makes the ones that came before Emolga rather uninteresting barring Pachi (VGC)
>>32401953
Never thought of this
>>32401953
Gen x gave us y gimmick so we got z
>>32403569
pachi does have that bizzarely bulky stat spread for an electric type going for it
>>32402204
That's because Play Rough is fucking bullshit.
Bulu suffers from the same problem. You can't get an attack with secondary STAB for that creamy 115/130 attack.
>>32401992
I live in Europe and I've never heard about this before.
>>32403581
How dense can you be
>>32404283
Wow, it's almost like Europe isn't a single country.
>>32403607
A 2x resisted Terrain boosted Wood Hammer does the same damage as a neutral Play Rough. Fairy STAB on Bulu wouldn't change it as much outside of giving it more options to work with. Its less useful compared to Psychic, Fighting, and Rock coverage.
>>32401527
It's an annoying cocksucker
>>32401600
In spain too, is called "Ratoncito pérez".

>Gen 7 introduced Z moves so we got a steel type whose only usable steel move is gyro ball z move
