Fairy (Pokémon type)

Hatsune Miku and several Fairy-type Pokémon in the song Mellomelloid from Project Voltage

The Fairy is a type in the Pokémon series. It was first introduced in the Sixth Pokémon generation. It was introduced mainly to balance the Dragon type, which was often considered by many to be over-powered at the time. Notable Fairy type trainers include Valerie, a gym leader in Kalos, Mina, a Trial Captain for Poni Island, Opal and Bede, the gym leaders in Galar and Team Star member Ortega.

69 Pokémon are Fairy-type, making it the second rarest type after Ice.

Floette		It flutters around fields of flowers and cares for flowers that are starting to wilt. It draws out the hidden power of flowers to battle. Floette also has five separate forms, each named for the color of its flower: Red Flower, Yellow Flower, Orange Flower, Blue Flower, and White Flower. There is a unique sixth form of Floette called Eternal Flower Floette.
Florges		It claims exquisite flower gardens as its territory, and it obtains power from basking in the energy emitted by flowering plants.
Spritzee		The scent its body gives off enraptures those who smell it. Noble ladies had no shortage of love for Spritzee.
Aromatisse		It evolves from Spritzee when traded while holding a Sachet.
Swirlix		To entangle its opponents in battle, it extrudes white threads as sweet and sticky as cotton candy.
Slurpuff		It evolves from Swirlix when traded while holding a Whipped Dream.
Sylveon		It evolves from Eevee when leveled up while knowing a Fairy-type move and having high friendship.
Dedenne		Its whiskers serve as antennas. By sending and receiving electrical waves, it can communicate with others over vast distances.
Carbink		Born from the temperatures and pressures deep underground, it fires beams from the stone in its head.
Klefki		These key collectors threaten any attackers by fiercely jingling their keys at them.
Xerneas		Mascot of Pokémon X
Diancie		A sudden transformation of Carbink, its pink, glimmering body is said to be the loveliest sight in the whole world.
Primarina		It controls its water balloons with song. The melody is learned from others of its kind and is passed down from one generation to the next.
Cutiefly		It feeds on the nectar and pollen of flowers. Because it's able to sense auras, it can identify which flowers are about to bloom.
Ribombee		Ribombee can sense when people or Pokémon are feeling down, and it will cheer them up with handmade pollen puffs.
Morelull		It scatters spores that flicker and glow. Anyone seeing these lights falls into a deep slumber.
Shiinotic		In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Shiinotic is defined internally as a Mythical Pokémon instead of Marshadow. This is likely due to a typo between their internal names, with マシェード MASHEEDO (Shiinotic / Mashēdo) being mistaken for マーシャドー MAASYADOO (Marshadow / Māshadō).
Comfey		It uses its vine to pick flowers. The flowers that Comfey attaches to itself develop healing properties.
Mimikyu		A lonely Pokémon, it conceals its terrifying appearance beneath an old rag so it can get closer to people and other Pokémon.
Tapu Koko		Guardian deity of Melemele Island
Tapu Lele		Guardian deity of Akala Island
Tapu Bulu		Guardian deity of Ula'ula Island
Tapu Fini		Guardian deity of Poni Island
Magearna		This artificial Pokémon, constructed more than 500 years ago, can understand human speech but cannot itself speak.

Morgrem		Morgrem prefers dirty tactics, like ambushing, because it doesn’t have confidence in its brawn.

Milcery		This Pokémon was born from sweet-smelling particles in the air. Its body is made of cream.

Fidough		This Pokémon is smooth and moist to the touch. Yeast in Fidough’s breath induces fermentation in the Pokémon’s vicinity.

Tinkatuff		This Pokémon will attack groups of Pawniard and Bisharp, gathering metal from them in order to create a large and sturdy hammer.
Tinkaton		This intelligent Pokémon has a very daring disposition. It knocks rocks into the sky with its hammer, aiming for flying Corviknight.
Scream Tail		Jigglypuff's ancient Paradox Pokémon counterpart

Trivia

• The Fairy type 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.
• Fairy is the only type to not have any Pokémon caught by Ash Ketchum in the anime. Instead, his previously caught Mr. Mime has been retroactively made part Fairy type, as revealed in the Poké Problem extra scene of SM024.
• Every generation since the Fairy type debuted has introduced at least one Fairy-type specialist.
