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 three 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.

Moves

As of Generation IX, there are 34 Fairy-type moves, which makes up 3.64% of all moves (excluding those that are Fairy-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with Bug and Ghost as the 4th rarest type among moves, after Ice and before Poison.

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 in the games are instead Psychic-type.

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.
  • On average, Fairy-type Pokémon have the highest base Special Defense 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.
    • If Fairy-type Pokémon were retroactively considered to be from the generation they were introduced in, Generation VI would still have introduced the most, with 15. Generations IV and V would have introduced the fewest, with two each.
  • 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.
  • Fairy 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.
    • That has a gem that has not been legitimately obtainable, namely the Fairy Gem.
    • That has no Pokémon caught by Ash in Pokémon the Series.
      • Instead, his previously caught Mr. Mime has been retroactively made part Fairy type, as revealed in the Poké Problem extra scene of SM024.
    • That is not featured in any games that take place in Johto.
    • To have had a specialist in every generation since its debut.
  • 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. Out of three, only one of them, Play Rough, can be learned by many different species of Pokémon, as Magical Torque cannot be known by the player's Pokémon and Spirit Break is exclusive to just two Pokémon, Grimmsnarl and Iron Valiant.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • According to Junichi Masuda in an interview with Journal du Geek in 2013, the Fairy type's weakness against the Steel type stems from the folkloric belief of fairies being susceptible to iron and other metals[1] (the specific type of iron is traditionally known as "cold iron").
  • All Badges associated with the Fairy type are named the Fairy Badge (フェアリーバッジ Fairy Badge).
