(→‎Intro: With Brock and Misty named, this paragraph made sense since they (via the anime) are likely the most familiar type experts to the broadest group of Pokemon fans. With two lesser-known characters, it seems entirely unnecessary to include.)

Valerie's Fairy-type Pokémon in the anime

A type expert (Japanese: タイプエキスパート type expert) is a Pokémon Trainer who specializes in just one type. These Trainers are most commonly Gym Leaders or members of the Elite Four.
