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.

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.
- 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).
