Since its debut back in Generation VI, the Fairy-type has become a real threat in the Pokémon games. Introduced as a way to combat the once overpowered Dragon-type, Fairy creatures are immune to the giant lizards’ attacks. They resist Bug, Dark, and Fighting, but are vulnerable to Poison and Steel. Lastly, the Fire-type is actually resistant to Fairy.

An overall strong and consistent type, Fairy has a total of thirty-five moves, including Max, G-Max, and Z Moves. More than half are non-damaging status moves, and only two of its damaging moves are Physical. This makes Fairy a Special type, which doesn’t bode well for Physical attackers like Grandbull or Mawile.

10 Draining Kiss

Introduced in Generation VI, Draining Kiss is the only Fairy-type HP-draining move. It does damage and also restores the user’s HP by 75% of the damage that was dealt. It can further be enhanced by the use of a Big Root, which increases the draining power by 30%, taking it all the way to 95%.

Draining Kiss is affected by Protect, Mirror Move, and Heal Block. Twenty-one Pokémon learn this move by leveling up. It is TM87 in Generation VIII and can be taught to a total of sixty-seven Pokémon.

9 Spirit Break

One of the signature moves of Generation VIII’s Dark/Fairy Pokémon Grimmsnarl, one of Galar’s most ferocious-looking creatures, Spirit Break is a damage-dealing move with 75 Power and 100% accuracy. It is said that the user attacks with such force that it could break the target’s spirit.

Spirit Break also lowers the target’s Special Attack by one stage and it can be considered as the Fairy counterpart of the move Mystical Fire. Grimmsnarl learns this attack upon first evolving. It is one of the two Physical Fairy moves. As of Generation VIII, it is not a TM, TR, HM, or Move Tutor move.

8 Dazzling Gleam

One of the original Fairy-type moves introduced in Generation VI, Dazzling Gleam has 80 power and 100% accuracy. It damages all adjacent Pokémon, but not allies. It does not make contact in the games, although the opposite happens in the anime.

Dazzling Gleam was TM99 in Generations VI and Pokémon Sun & Moon and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, TM32 in Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee, and TR92 Sword & Shield.

7 Strange Steam

One of the most inspired regional variants so far, Galarian Wheezing seems to be based on Victorian-era gentlemen’s top hats. Its design also draws inspiration from perfume bottles and chimneys. A Pokémon with a unique typing, this Poison/Fairy creature has a signature move, Strange Steam.

A 90 power and 95% accurate move, Strange Steam also has a 20% chance of confusing the target. Because of its status as a signature move, it is not a TM, TR, HM, or Move Tutor move. It is one of several moves that Galarian Wheezing learns at level 1.

6 Sparky Swirl

The Let’s Go games introduced several signature moves for the partner Pokémon, Pikachu and Eevee. These moves were designed to greatly benefit the partner Pokémon. In Eevee’s case, it can learn one move from each of the types that it can evolve into.

Sparkly Swirl is the Fairy-type move. With 100% accuracy and a 90 base power, the move also cures the user, its allies, and all Pokémon in the trainer’s party, of all non-volatile status conditions: sleep, poison, paralysis, freeze, and burn.

5 Play Rough

Play Rough is a damage-dealing move introduced in Generation VI. It has a base power 0f 90 but is only 95% accurate. It is the second and last of the Physical Fairy-type moves and has a 10% chance of lowering the target’s Attack stat by one stage.

Several non-Fairy Pokémon can learn Play Rough by leveling up, including Growlithe and Arcanine, Miltank, Yamper and Boltund, Cufant and Copperajah. It was TM 44 in Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee and TR90 in Sword & Shield.

4 Moonblast

Another of the many Fairy-type moves initially introduced in Generation VI, Moonblast is both Special and damage-dealing. With a base power of 90 and 100% accuracy, it’s one of the most powerful Fairy moves in the game. It also has a 30% chance of lowering the target’s Special Attack by one stage.

Moonblast isn’t a TM, TR, HM, or Move Tutor move. Thirty-nine Pokémon can learn it by leveling up and two, Alolan Vulpix and Cutiefly, can learn it by Breeding. Furthermore, two event-exclusive Pokémon – Kimia’s Shiny Gardevoir and Tanabata Jirachi – came with the move.

3 Misty Explosion

Introduced in Generation VIII, Misty Explosion is a 100 base power, 100% accurate damage-dealing move. After dealing said damage, the user faints immediately. If Misty Terrain is in effect, the move’s power increases by 1.5, taking it all the way to 150.

It is a Move Tutor move, available only in the 2020 DLC, Isle of Armor. It can be learned by 22 Pokémon and affects all Pokémon adjacent to the user, including allies.

2 Fleur Cannon

The signature move of Mythical Pokémon Magearna, Fleur Cannon deals 130 damage but also lowers the user’s Special Attack by two whole stages. It also has a a 90% accuracy, making it even more problematic. Because of its status as a signature move, it is not a TM, TR, HM, or Move Tutor move.

Felur Cannon can be seen as the Fairy equivalent of moves like Overheat, Draco Meteor, and Leaf Storm. They all have 130 base power and harshly lower the user’s Special Attack afterward.

1 Let’s Snuggle Forever

The Z-version move of Play Rough, Let’s Snuggle Forever is also Mimikyu’s exclusive Z-Move. As such, in order to be used, Mimikyu must know Play Rough and the trainer must have a Mimikium Z Crystal. It has an insanely high 190 base power and is only affected by the use of a King’s Rock.

Let’s Snuggle Forever affects both the targets and the user’s ally Pokémon. it was introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.
