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!

Totally forgot about that guy.  I haven't used Whimsicott, but it seems like it should be decent for UU and viable in OU.  Prankster is a really great ability, especially for something that has that many resistances and also can use encore, stun sport, leech seed, tail wing, memento, and a whole lot of other support moves.  Should be able to switch in and set up without much problem, then use memento get away quickly and give another pokemon an essentially free turn to set up.
