Fairy (type)

The Fairy type was introduced in Generation 6 - the first new type for more than 12 years! Its main intention was to balance the type chart by reducing the power of dragons, while also giving an offensive boost to the Poison and Steel types. Several old Pokémon were retyped and new Pokémon introduced, and in the years since the total number of Fairy type Pokémon has caught up somewhat with the other types.

Effects of the Fairy type

• The Fairy Aura ability increases the power of Fairy type moves for all Pokémon on the field by 33%.
• If Pokémon with the abilities Fairy Aura and Aura Break (i.e. Xerneas and Zygarde) are both in battle, the power of Fairy type moves for all Pokémon on the field instead decreases by 25%.
• The item Pixie Plate increases the power of Fairy type moves by 20% when held.
• The Fairy Gem increases the power of a Fairy type move by 30% when held, and is then consumed.
• The Roseli Berry, when held, neutralizes a super-effective Fairy type move.
