Characteristics

Defense

The Pokémon of this type have the highest average Special Defense of all types.

The Fairy type is also immune to Dragon-type damage.

Offense

Fairy attacks are resisted by Poison, but Poison is weak to Psychic-type moves, which Fairy Pokémon are frequently able to learn. Additionally, all three of the types that resist Fairy are weak to Ground, making Fairy and Ground a strong attacking combination.

Fairy-type Pokémon, on average, have the lowest physical Attack of all Pokémon.

Contest properties

In Contests, Fairy-type moves are typically Beautiful and Cute moves. None of them are considered Cool or Tough moves.

Pokémon

As of Generation VIII, there are 69 Fairy-type Pokémon or 6.73% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Fairy-type in at least one of their forms, including Mega Evolutions, and regional forms), making it the third rarest type after Ghost and Ice.

In the TCG

Main article: Fairy (TCG)

Fairy formerly had its own energy type, which was introduced in the Kalos Starter Set set. Fairy-type Pokémon in the TCG were generally weak to Metal with a resistance to Darkness. Fairy-type Pokémon were strong against Dragon, while no Pokémon could resist this type.

Starting with Sword & Shield, the Fairy type is no longer supported in the TCG, and Fairy-type Pokémon were reassigned to Psychic.

Trivia

  • Generation VI introduced the most Fairy-type Pokémon of any generation, with 37. Generation VIII introduced the fewest Fairy-type Pokémon since the type was created, with nine.
  • Generation VI introduced the most Fairy-type moves of any generation, with 14. Generation VII and Generation VIII introduced the fewest Fairy-type moves since the type was created, each with seven.
  • 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 change the types of Pokémon from previous generations, 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.
  • 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 has the fewest physical moves of all types, at two.
