Fairy Type

The Fairy type (Japanese: フェアリータイプ Fairy type) is one of the eighteen types. It is characteristic of brightness, light, magic, and typically what you would think of when you think of fairies.

The Fairy type was introduced in Generation VI. As well as introducing new Pokémon with the Fairy type, 22 Pokémon and three moves were changed to be of the Fairy type.

The Pokémon of this type have the highest average Special Defense of all types. The Fairy type is also immune to Dragon-type damage. 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. In Contests, Fairy-type moves are typically Beautiful and Cute moves. None of them are considered Cool or Tough moves.
