Description
The Fairy type was introduced in Generation VI to balance the Dragon and Dark types. It is super-effective against both types and also resisted most types that were introduced in the past Generation (mostly Bug, Fighting, and Dark types). Another reason why the Fairy type was introduced was to give offensive advantages to the Steel and Poison types. Prior to Generation VI, the Dark/Ghost type Sableye and Spiritomb had no weaknesses, so the Fairy type was added to give them a weakness.
Fairy types have some magical appeal to them, and can be incredibly powerful.
