Fairy Aura is a unique Ability in the Pokémon series, primarily known for its association with powerful Fairy-type Pokémon. Introduced in Generation VI, Fairy Aura amplifies the effectiveness of Fairy-type moves in battle.
Effects:
- Boosts Fairy-Type Moves: Fairy Aura increases the power of all Fairy-type moves used by any Pokémon on the field by 33% (i.e., a multiplier of 1.33). This effect applies to both allies and opponents, making it a double-edged sword in battles involving multiple Pokémon.
- Interaction with Dark Aura: If both Fairy Aura and Dark Aura are active on the field, the effects cancel each other out for all moves. Dark Aura, typically associated with Dark-type Pokémon like Yveltal, boosts the power of Dark-type moves, creating an interesting strategic layer when both Auras are present.
Notable Pokémon with Fairy Aura:
- Xerneas: The Legendary Pokémon Xerneas is the most well-known user
