The Fairy type is good defensively. It has key resistances to the common {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}} types, as well as the {{t|Bug}} type, which means a resistance to {{m|U-turn}}, and an immunity to {{t|Dragon}}-type moves (it should be noted, however, that most Dragon-type Pokemon can learn {{t|Steel}}-type moves to address this problem). Its only weaknesses are to the otherwise rare attacking types, {{t|Poison}} and {{t|Steel}}. | The Fairy type is good defensively.

However. a weakness to {{t|Steel}} is very crippling in the OU metagame, as Scizor, who was the most common Pokemon during Generation V, can KO Fairy-type Pokemon in one or two hits with a move called {{m|Bullet Punch}}, which is very powerful when backed by STAB, a huge base 130 Attack stat, the Technician ability and possibly Choice Band or a Swords Dance boost. | ||
