Why are there so few physical fairy type moves?

Question

There's only spirt break and play rough, why not more?

Game Freak logic

Answer 1

It's likely because at the moment there's a severe lack of physically oriented fairy types.

It's not uncommon for types to lean one way over the other.

Most Fairy types are specially oriented, so physical attacks are less in demand.

Hope I helped!

I s e e. Kinda weird, theres literally only play rough that's available to most pokemon, spirt break is literally only for grimmsnarl. They should make more lol

Maybe they'll do with Spirit Break what they did with Darkest Lariat. It was originally Incineroar-exclusive, but it got way more distribution this gen.
