Here's another round of new stuff.
Firstly more on the
Fairy type, which has had it's strengths and weaknesses fully revealed.
serebii.net/games/typexy.shtmlOffensively, Fairy type is strong against Fighting, Dark and Dragon; and not very effective against Steel, Poison and Fire.
Defensively, Fairy is weak to Poison and Steel; resists Bug, Fighting and Dark; and is immune to Dragon.
Also, Steel has been tweaked a little bit; it no longer resists Dark and Ghost-type moves.
