I know this may be kind of a broad topic, but I'm wondering what people think of this. More specifically, which Pokemon will make extreme jumps either up or down tiers because of the Fairy type and the Pokemon that carry the Fairy type? I know in general, Dragons are hit, but I'm wondering about more specifics.
One of the biggest examples I can think of is Haxorus. Haxorus typically relies on Choice items to deliver a very deadly Outrage, but doesn't have a heck of a lot more up its sleeve. Before it was dangerous once it got started, but simply switching a Fairy type into it will now be enough to stop it in its tracks. What's worse, since it'll be forced to be switched out, the opponent will have a turn to set up. Haxorus will still have potential, but I personally don't think it'll fit into OU since its Choice sets will be nerfed.
Hydreigon will definitely have trouble as well, since it has a brutal 4x weakness to Fairy.
Any thoughts? And please, be specific, not just like "poisons and steels will be better"
