Has anybody tried any Fairy Pokemon?

From those three, Dedenne is the weakest link. While it does have a base speed stat of ~105, his SpA is ~80 and every other stat is below 80.

Aurorus, while being slow, gives you an excellent coverage against both Flying, Dragon, Grass, Water (Freeze Dry is Super Effective against Water types, 4x Damage against Bulky Kingdra and Palkia), Ice, Fire, Bug and Ground. You can't go wrong with it.

Gardevoir is the only one in that list that can mega evolve, and that in itself is awesome as heck. Fairy typing covers for it's usual weakness to Dark, while adding weakness to Poison and Steel. Gardevoir's drawback is that it's moveset is very restricted, even TM wise. You won't be able to cover for it's Steel weakness at all (unless you count Focus Blast, which is too unreliable).


Personally I'd go with Aurorus. That huge amount of coverage is much more useful than the ability of going mega but having a limited movepool from which to manage.

You seem to know what you're talking about.  How about Mawile?  Is it ok without Mega or is it completely reliant on Mega?

Mawile in itself is an okay poke. Steel/Fairy is a good defensive typing, as they both annul most of each other weaknesses (0x Poison damage, 1x Steel Damage, 1x Fight damage) and Mawile takes advantage of it only if it goes Mega.

With an absurd Base stat spread of 50/105/195/50/160/30, and access to Huge Power which essentially doubles it's attack stat, Mega Mawile can have over 660 Attack with maxed EVs/IVs and benefitial nature, meaning it can OHKO most things, if it can get it's moves out. It's 30 Speed and 50 HP stats mean that the thing is a massively slow Glass Cannon, because even with it's mega defense and SpD, one good STAB Fire Blast, Earth Power, Earthquake and such can OHKO it easily as well. 

It's an amazing Mega when properly used, but it can be countered just as easy as well. I wouldn't recommend it if you've already have a team of Megas or if you're not planning to build your team around it as well.
