The Fairy-type Pokémon, introduced in Generation VI with the release of Pokémon X and Y, represents a versatile and powerful addition to the Pokémon type roster. Fairy-types are known for their enchanting appearances and often whimsical or mystical attributes.
Strengths: Fairy-type Pokémon possess several strategic advantages in battles. They are particularly strong against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting types, making them excellent counters to some of the most formidable opponents. Fairy-type moves deal double damage to these types, giving players a tactical edge.
Weaknesses: Despite their strengths, Fairy-type Pokémon also exhibit vulnerabilities. They are weak to Poison and Steel-type moves, meaning these types can deal double damage to Fairy-types. This requires trainers to be cautious when facing opponents known for using Poisonous or metallic attacks.
