Dubs, I may never understand fairy type. Although, your description does make some sense. Perhaps the reason some are strictly fairy is due to the idea that most fairies or pixies have a natural affinity or closeness with plants. Flabébé specifically strikes me as living
with or in flowers but not specifically being part of them. Fairies are often depicted as living in the wood or trees, etc. That's the best I can do though.
The Fairy legendary Xerneas when petrified looks like a great treat and is supposed to be a giver of life. Looks like a deer with more definitively branch antlers. So maybe there's just a part of nature or life that goes hand in hand with fairy types? This would be more of a life/nature more specifically than "grass" to be honest. Although that doesn't specifically fit into the trickster aspect of fairies at all.
If you find an explanation somewhere, Dubs, I'd love to see. ;w; Your list of favorites looks cool, I definitely agree about the sun frills. Plus you know, frilled lizards are just awesome.
I'm curious about goomy since it's leveling requirements seem to be similar to dratini, and so I think that's awesome. But it also has the additional necessity of it having to be raining to get the last evolution. :3 I might try that out with a traded goomy though.
Crystal, ya! I use it a little on my Charizard when I wanna play with mega. 8D My charizard is BA no matter what. xD I can just see him being way OVER the top that mega seems like a nice next WAY OVER THE TOP move.
