The Fairy type (Japanese: フェアリー Fairy) is one of the eleven TCG types. It is represented by the color pink and symbolized by two shapes resembling a star and a pair of wings or cupped "healing hands" surrounding it. It may also be a stylized depiction of Florges or Xerneas's antlers.
The Fairy type formerly contained most Fairy-type Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, Xerneas, Sylveon, and Aromatisse were Fairy types in the TCG. Some Pokémon that were classed as Colorless types prior to the Kalos Starter Set, such as Snubbull, were Fairy types from the Kalos Starter Set to Cosmic Eclipse.
The corresponding Basic Energy card is Fairy Energy.
The Fairy type ceased being supported by the TCG from the Sword & Shield expansion onwards.[1] Pokémon that are Fairy-types in the main series video games are now grouped with the Psychic type instead. However, the Fairy type still exists, and previously existing cards that refer to the Fairy type will still reference it.
