{{TCGTypes|tcg Fairy}}
The '''Fairy type''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|妖|フェアリー}}''' ''Fairy'') is one of the eleven {{TCG|Type|TCG types}}. It was 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 have been a stylized depiction of {{p|Florges}}' leaves or {{p|Xerneas}}' antlers.

The Fairy type formerly contained most {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, {{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Sylveon}}, and {{p|Aromatisse}} were Fairy types in the TCG. Some Pokémon that were classed as {{TCG|Colorless}} types prior to the {{TCG|Kalos Starter Set}}, such as {{p|Snubbull}}, were Fairy types from the Kalos Starter Set to {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}.

The corresponding [[Energy card (TCG)#Basic Energy cards|Basic Energy card]] is {{TCG|Basic Fairy Energy}}. Where the {{e|Fairy}} symbol appears in an attack {{DL|Attack (TCG)|cost}}, it indicates that a Fairy Energy must be attached to the Pokémon in order for the Pokémon to use that attack.

The Fairy type ceased being supported by the TCG from the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion onwards.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/changes-coming-to-the-pokemon-tcg-with-sword-shield/ ''Changes Coming to the Pokémon TCG with Sword & Shield'' - Pokémon.com] (accessed January 9, 2020)</ref> Pokémon that are Fairy-type in the [[core series]] games are now grouped with the {{TCG|Psychic}} type instead. In the {{TCG|2021-22 Standard format}}, Fairy Energy was {{TCG|Rotation|rotated}} out, becoming the first Basic Energy card with this distinction.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/2022-pokemon-tcg-championship-series-season-format-rotation/ ''2022 Pokémon TCG Championship Series Season Format Rotation'' - Pokémon.com] (accessed September 13, 2021)</ref>
