Fairy is very strong on offense as well. It is super-effective against Dragon, Fighting, and Dark, all of which are otherwise great types defensively. Though resisted by {{t|Fire}}, Poison, and Steel, Fire types still struggle defensively, Poison types are statistically weak, and Steel types struggle offensively. Additionally, all three types that resist Fairy are weak to {{t|Ground}}, making a Fairy and Ground attacking combination effective.

* All types that resist Fairy are weak to {{t|Ground}}. However, some type combinations such as Fire/Flying and Steel/Flying resist both because of the Flying type's immunity to Ground.
* Every type that resists Fairy also resists {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}} and is weak to {{t|Ground}}.
