You're right.  I got confused and thought fairy resisted fire, but it's the other way around.  It does take away it's bug weakness, although that's not all that important.  

Still though, it resists electric, water, grass,  fighting, dark, ground, and is immune to dragon, and can hit all of those for stab.  Meanwhile, it's weak to fire, steel, ice, flying, and 4x poison. 

So, 6 resistances and one immunity vs 4 weaknesses and one 4x weakness.  Pretty good balance, especially considering that on the whole it's weaknesses are less detrimental than its resistances are helpful.  At the very least, it will be easy to switch this thing in.  Obviously can't really judge before knowing its stats and moves, but definitely a type combination with some potential.

 

Good points, though Whimsicott hasn't too done much from my experience, but then again it doesn't have the stats to really take advantage of either the offensive or defensive capabilitys of it's type combo. Hopefully the Morelull line will be better at that!

Dont forget when playing competitive play a pokemon that does something better than another will automatically knock it down a tier (if its basically the same thing, ex Swampert > Whiscash).

 

That said i think Whismicott was used alot in Gen 5 but gen 6 it died off. Its a prankster pokemon, forget who but others do it better than itself (like klefki?)
