Fairy is also quite strong offensively. It is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}} against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}}, all of which previously only had two weaknesses. {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} and {{m|Play Rough}} are the only effective coverage move for non-Fairy-types | Fairy is also quite strong offensively. It is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}} against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}}, all of which previously only had two weaknesses. Because {{m|Hidden Power}} cannot be Fairy-type, {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} and {{m|Play Rough}} are the only effective coverage move for non-Fairy-types. Fairy is resisted by the {{t|Fire}}, Poison, and Steel types. However, Fire types often struggle defensively and are not super-effective against Fairy. Poison, however, is weak to {{t|Psychic}}-type moves which Fairy Pokémon are frequently able to learn. | ||
Additionally, all three of the types that resist Fairy are weak to {{t|Ground}}, making Fairy and Ground a strong hypothetical combination. No Fairy/Ground types exist, however, and Fairies are generally unable to learn any Ground moves. Fairy also pairs well offensively with {{t|Ghost}} and Dark, with the former combination being resisted only by {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Pyroar}} and the latter being resisted only by {{t|Steel}}/Fairy types. | Additionally, all three of the types that resist Fairy are weak to {{t|Ground}}, making Fairy and Ground a strong hypothetical combination.
