Fairy is quite strong on offense as well. It is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}} against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}}, all of which previously had two weaknesses. It is resisted by {{t|Fire}}, Poison, and Steel types.

It is resisted by {{t|Fire}}, Poison, and Steel types. Most Fire types struggle defensively and cannot hit Fairy types super effectively in return, making Poison and Steel-types the only true threats against them, even if the former is weak to {{t|Psychic}}-type moves, common among Fairy Pokémon. Additionally, all three of those types are weak to {{t|Ground}}, making a Fairy and Ground a viable attack combination to use. Fairy also pairs well 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 {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Klefki}}. | ||
Despite having numerous advantages, the Fairy type is a balanced one due to the lack of particularly powerful Fairy-type moves, being somewhat weak statistically and having a disadvantageous match-up against the Poison and Steel-type, two of the best defensive types in the series. Also, since Fairy types typically have {{stat|Special Attack}} and Special Defense, but relatively low Defense and {{stat|Speed}} stats, they have advantageous match-ups against most special attackers, but poor ones against physical attackers, overall. | Despite having numerous advantages, the Fairy type is a balanced one due to the lack of particularly powerful Fairy-type moves, being somewhat weak statistically and having a disadvantageous match-up against the Poison and Steel-type, two of the best defensive types in the series.
