The '''Fairy type''' (Japanese: '''フェアリータイプ''' ''Fairy type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Fairy-type Pokémon include the [[Gym Leader]] [[Valerie]] of [[Laverre City]].
The '''Fairy type''' (Japanese: '''フェアリータイプ''' ''Fairy type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. It was introduced in [[Generation VI]]. As well as introducing new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[move]]s with the Fairy type, 22 Pokémon and 3 [[move]]s were changed to have the Fairy type. Fairy-type moves are super-effective against {{t|Dark}}-, {{t|Dragon}}-, and {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, while Fairy-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Poison}}- and {{type|Steel}} moves.

==Characteristics==
==Pokémon==
===Defense===
As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Fairy-type Pokémon|pages}} Fairy-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Fairy-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Fairy-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[regional form]]s), making it the second rarest type after {{t|Ice}} and before {{t|Ghost}}.
As it was created to balance the competitive play in [[Generation VI]], the Fairy-type is considered to be one of the best defensive types, along with the {{t|Steel}}-type. As such, it is considered to be an anti-metagame type, having traits that no other is capable of offering - a key resistance to the powerful {{t|Fighting}} type, as well as the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Bug}} types, granting resistances to overused moves like [[Close Combat]], [[Knock Off]] and [[U-turn]]. Most of all, it also has a useful immunity to {{type|Dragon}} moves. Its only weaknesses are to {{t|Poison}} and Steel, both of which were rarely used offensively prior to its introduction.
 
Since the Pokémon of this type tend to have a high {{stat|Special Defense}}, they excel at the role of being a special wall, further strengthened by the fact that there are few powerful special attackers among Steel and Poison types.
 
Despite all of this, Fairy type Pokémon tend to have a below average {{stat|Defense}} stat, though there are some exceptions, such as [[Mawile]], [[Carbink]] and [[Togekiss]].


===Offense===
The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.
Fairy is quite strong on offense as well. It is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}} against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}}, all of which previously only had two weaknesses. It is resisted by {{t|Fire}}, Poison, and Steel types. However, most Fire types struggle defensively and cannot hit Fairy types super effectively in return, making Poison- and Steel-types the only true threats against them, even if the former is weak to {{t|Psychic}}-type moves, common among Fairy Pokémon. Additionally, all three of those types are weak to {{t|Ground}}, making Fairy and Ground a viable attack combination to use. Fairy also pairs well with {{t|Ghost}} and Dark, with the former combination being resisted only by {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Pyroar}} and the latter being resisted only by {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Klefki}}.
 
Despite having numerous advantages, the Fairy type is a balanced out due to the lack of particularly powerful Fairy-type moves, being somewhat weak statistically and having a disadvantageous match-up against the Poison- and Steel-types, two of the best defensive types in the series. Also, since Fairy types typically have high {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but relatively low Defense and {{stat|Speed}} stats, they have advantageous match-ups against most special attackers, but poor ones against physical attackers, overall.
 
===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Fairy-type moves are typically {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and {{OBP|Cute|condition}} moves. None of them are considered {{OBP|Cool|condition}} or {{OBP|Tough|condition}} moves.
 
==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 37 Fairy-type Pokémon, or 5.1% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the third rarest Pokémon type, behind {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Ice}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Fairy (TCG)}}
Fairy has its own energy type, which was introduced in the {{TCG|Kalos Starter Set}} set. Fairy-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Metal}} with a resistance to {{TCG|Darkness}}. Fairy-type Pokémon are strong against {{TCG|Dragon}}-type cards printed during the XY, XY BREAK and Sun & Moon series, while no Pokémon resists this type.
Starting with {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}, the Fairy type was discontinued in the TCG, and new cards of Pokémon that are Fairy-type are {{TCG|Psychic}}-types.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* More Pokémon were changed to Fairy than either of the other types added since [[Generation I]] (the other two being {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} in [[Generation II]]), with 22. Also, more moves were changed to Fairy, with three. All three of them were [[Status move]]s introduced in [[Generation II]] and were previously {{type|Normal}}.
* The Fairy type has been paired up with every other type except for {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Ground}}, and is the only type to not have been paired with either of these two types.
** It is also the only one out of the three types to completely change the types of Pokémon from previous generations, changing several previously pure Normal-type Pokémon, such as {{p|Snubbull}}, to pure Fairy.
* Fairy-type Pokémon have the highest average {{stat|Special Defense}} of all types. <!--as of Generation 7-->
* Every type that resists Fairy also resists {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}}.
* Fairy-type Pokémon have the lowest average {{stat|Attack}} of all types. <!--as of Generation 7-->
* The Fairy-type is one of the two types that {{m|Hidden Power}} cannot become, the other being the {{type|Normal}}.
* [[Generation VI]] introduced the most Fairy-type Pokémon of any generation, with 37 (including Pokémon changed to Fairy-type and those that gain the type upon Mega Evolving). [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Fairy-type Pokémon since the type was created, with 9.
** This, combined with the lack of any Fairy-type moves in {{p|Kecleon}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s movesets, prevents all Pokémon that naturally have {{a|Protean}} from becoming Fairy-type using it (although Kecleon can become Fairy-type with its other Ability, {{a|Color Change}}).
** If Fairy-type Pokémon were retroactively considered to be from the generation they were introduced in, Generation VI would still have introduced the most, with 15. Generations [[IV]] and [[V]] would have introduced the fewest, with two each.
* The Fairy type has the fewest [[physical move|physical moves]] of all types, with only one.
* Generation VI introduced the most Fairy-type moves of any generation, with 14. [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Fairy-type moves since the type was created, with only two.
* {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} is the only Fairy-type move that is available via a [[TM]].
* More Pokémon were changed to Fairy than either of the other types added since [[Generation I]] (the other two being {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} in [[Generation II]]), with 22. Also, more moves were changed to Fairy, with three. All three of them were [[status move]]s introduced in [[Generation II]] and were previously {{type|Normal}}.
** It is also the only one out of the three types to completely replace the types of Pokémon from previous generations rather than simply adding an additional type, changing several previously pure Normal-type Pokémon, such as {{p|Snubbull}}, to pure Fairy.
* The Fairy type is the only type without any [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|Pokémon with gender differences]].
** In addition, the Fairy type has the most gender-exclusive species of Pokémon, with many of them being female-only species.
* Every type that resists Fairy also resists {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}} and is weak to {{t|Ground}}.
* The types that resist Fairy are the three types with the most resistances.
* The Fairy type is one of the two types that {{m|Hidden Power}} cannot be outside of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the other being the {{type|Normal}}.
* The Fairy type has the fewest [[physical move]]s of all types, with three (one of which cannot be known by the player's Pokémon).
* The Fairy type is the only type to have a [[gem]] that has [[List of unobtainable items|not been legitimately obtainable]], namely the [[Fairy Gem]].
* Prior to [[The Teal Mask]] DLC for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Fairy-type moves have the fewest [[held item]]s that boost their power, with the [[Pixie Plate]] being the only one to have ever been legitimately obtainable. The Teal Mask introduced the [[Fairy Feather]], which functions as a non-consumable [[type-enhancing item|type-enhancing]] [[held item]] in the same vein as [[Charcoal]] or [[Metal Coat]].

Fairy redirects here. For the Egg Group, see Fairy (Egg Group).

The Fairy type (Japanese: フェアリータイプ Fairy type) is one of the eighteen types. It was introduced in Generation VI. As well as introducing new Pokémon and moves with the Fairy type, 22 Pokémon and 3 moves were changed to have the Fairy type. Fairy-type moves are super-effective against Dark-, Dragon-, and Fighting-type Pokémon, while Fairy-type Pokémon are weak to Poison- and Steel-type moves.

Battle properties

Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other games outside the core series.

In the TCG

Main article: Fairy (TCG)

Fairy has its own energy type, which was introduced in the Kalos Starter Set set. Fairy-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Metal with a resistance to Darkness. Fairy-type Pokémon are strong against Dragon-type cards printed during the XY, XY BREAK and Sun & Moon series, while no Pokémon resists this type.

Starting with Sword & Shield, the Fairy type was discontinued in the TCG, and new cards of Pokémon that are Fairy-type are Psychic-types.

Trivia

  • The Fairy type has been paired up with every other type except for Fire and Ground, and is the only type to not have been paired with either of these two types.
  • Fairy-type Pokémon have the highest average Special Defense of all types.
  • Fairy-type Pokémon have the lowest average Attack of all types.
  • Generation VI introduced the most Fairy-type Pokémon of any generation, with 37 (including Pokémon changed to Fairy-type and those that gain the type upon Mega Evolving). Generation IX introduced the fewest Fairy-type Pokémon since the type was created, with 9.
    • If Fairy-type Pokémon were retroactively considered to be from the generation they were introduced in, Generation VI would still have introduced the most, with 15. Generations IV and V would have introduced the fewest, with two each.
  • Generation VI introduced the most Fairy-type moves of any generation, with 14. Generation IX introduced the fewest Fairy-type moves since the type was created, with only two.
  • More Pokémon were changed to Fairy than either of the other types added since Generation I (the other two being Dark and Steel in Generation II), with 22. Also, more moves were changed to Fairy, with three. All three of them were status moves introduced in Generation II and were previously Normal-type.
    • It is also the only one out of the three types to completely replace the types of Pokémon from previous generations rather than simply adding an additional type, changing several previously pure Normal-type Pokémon, such as Snubbull, to pure Fairy.
  • The Fairy type is the only type without any Pokémon with gender differences.
    • In addition, the Fairy type has the most gender-exclusive species of Pokémon, with many of them being female-only species.
  • Every type that resists Fairy also resists Grass and Bug and is weak to Ground.
  • The types that resist Fairy are the three types with the most resistances.
  • The Fairy type is one of the two types that Hidden Power cannot be outside of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the other being the Normal-type.
  • The Fairy type has the fewest physical moves of all types, with three (one of which cannot be known by the player's Pokémon).
  • The Fairy type is the only type to have a gem that has not been legitimately obtainable, namely the Fairy Gem.
  • Prior to The Teal Mask DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Fairy-type moves have the fewest held items that boost their power, with the Pixie Plate being the only one to have ever been legitimately obtainable. The Teal Mask introduced the Fairy Feather, which functions as a non-consumable type-enhancing held item in the same vein as Charcoal or Metal Coat.
  • The Fairy type is one of the only two types — the other being Poison — to not have any moves that cause flinching without the King's Rock or Razor Fang.
  • Fairy is the only type to not have any Pokémon caught by Ash in the anime. Instead, his previously caught Mr. Mime has been retroactively made part Fairy type, as revealed in the Poké Problem extra scene of SM024.
  • Every generation since the Fairy type debuted has introduced at least one Fairy-type specialist.
  • Clefairy, Clefable, Snubbull, and Granbull share the "Fairy Pokémon" category, which predates the introduction of the Fairy Egg Group and the Fairy type.
    • In English, those four Pokémon have the same name for their type (from Generation VI onwards), Egg Group, and category.
    • In Japanese, those four Pokémon have the same name for their category (ようせいポケモン Yōsei Pokémon) and Egg Group (ようせいグループ Yōsei Group), but their type has a different name (フェアリータイプ Fairy type).
