Who wants to do some math? You don't have to but I'm posting it anyway. Tell me I'm what I'm doing wrong, basically.
So, first of all, here's what I'm working with: http://www.serebii.net/games/damage.shtml (Damage calculation)
((((2 * Level / 5 + 2) * AttackStat * AttackPower / DefenseStat) / 50) + 2) * STAB * Weakness/Resistance * RandomNumber / 100
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/282.shtml#stats (Gardevoir stats- Sp. Atk 130)
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/635.shtml#stats (Hydreigon stats- Sp. Def 95)
The evidence
Gardevoir Fairy Wind vs. Hydreigon. 152 - 56 = 96 damage
The Assumptions
0 IVs, 0 EVs, (Note that Hydriegon's 152 HP is its minimum possible value; it's IVs and EVs in HP would have to be 0 for that) Neutral Nature, Dark Weakness to Fairy/Dark Neutral to Fairy, Arbitrary Base Power for Fairy Wind
The actual math stuff
Assuming Fairy is Neutral to Dark and Fairy Wind Base Power of 55 (like Icy Wind)
((((2*50/5+2)*130*55/95)/50)+2)*1.5*2*85/100 = 89 damage minimum
((((2*50/5+2)*130*55/95)/50)+2)*1.5*2*100/100 = 105 damage maximum
Assuming Dark Weakness to Fairy and Fairy Wind Base Power 30
((((2*50/5+2)*130*30/95)/50)+2)*1.5*4*85/100 = 102 damage minimum
((((2*50/5+2)*130*30/95)/50)+2)*1.5*4*100/100 = 120 damage maximum
The Conclusion
Okay, so basically I was bored and decided to see if I could confirm or deny Dark's weakness to Fairy, because "Wynaut?" See above for my results, and explanations are as follows:
1. Dark is Neutral to Fairy
So, using a base power of 55 for Fairy Wind I found that the damage range worked out if Dark did not have a weakness to Fairy. That is assuming Fairy Wind is similar to Icy Wind, which I believe is possible. The other "wind" moves (Silver Wind and Ominous Wind) are BP 60, but the minimum damage there is 97, just barely too high for the 96 damage shown.
OR
2. Fairy Wind's Base Power is below 30
If Dark has a weakness to Fairy, basically anything above 40 BP could possibly OHKO the Hydreigon shown in the video. I didn't go below 30 BP primarily because that's already weaker than Tackle, and the damage is still too high. So unless Fairy Wind has some spectacular secondary effect, it's a pathetic Bubble tier move and that makes me sad.

My co worker brought his son to work a couple of days ago and was playing White 2. Never bothered nor cared about pokemon since the anime a long long time ago. I'm ashamed to admit it was a bit......addicting. The fire pig looks awesome.
So i just bought a 3ds xl and my first ever pokemon game. Told the chick at toys r us it was for my nephew. Yeah.
Looks like they just go super saiyan mid battle.
