magical abilities (Jigglypuff can cause people to fall asleep while Tapu Guardians are considered gods). Other types of fairies with non-psychic powers always receive the fairy type for some. Unlike psychic Pokémon, fairy-type Pokémon have powers related to magic and the supernatural in relation to mental power.įairy types are also known for their purity and rejuvenation (Pokémon like Gardevoir, Xerneas and Galarian Weezing have special powers that can purify objects).
However, fairy types can be incredibly powerful. Before the sixth generation, the Sableye and Dark / Phantom Spiritblers had no weaknesses, so the Fata type was added to give them a weak point.įairy type Pokémon are generally considered "cute" and tend to be at least partially pink in color and to have a feminine appearance in general (as Pokémon as Igglybuff and Swirlix have these features). First off, it’s so big that it lets children use its belly to play on.
Another reason why the fairy type was introduced was to offer benefits to steel and poison types.Īlthough both had a lot of resistance, they were very poor in an offensive way and had only advantages in the types of ice and grass, respectively. Snorlax may be one of the least obvious Pokmon for this list with its massive and intimidating size, but its in-game personality and demeanor make it a perfect fit for a cute Pokmon. It was super efficient against both types and also withstood most of the types introduced in the previous generation (mainly Bug, Fighting and Dark-type).
The Fairy type was introduced to the sixth generation to balance the Dragon and Dark types.
