The best Fairy-type Pokémon are a great addition to your Pokémon Go battle lineup. In this guide, we will explain its strengths and weaknesses, as well as which are the best.
With so many Pokemon to choose from, it can be hard to know which are the best Pokemon in Pokemon Go, and which ones to focus on catching, powering up, and using when it comes time for battle.
To complicate matters, all different types of Pokemon have their own effectiveness and vulnerabilities to consider when taking them into battle, so you should read our Pokemon Go type chart to understand their strengths and weaknesses. It doesn’t matter if you want to beat a Gym, a Team Rocket member, or a friend or stranger in the game’s PvP mode, this is good information to have mentally guarded.
In this guide, we’ll talk about the best fairy-type pokemon available to add to your team. Fairy types can be sweet and delicate like Flabébé, or a kind of cute and scary hybrid like Mimikyu. But to use them effectively in battle, you’ll need to keep in mind your own unique strengths and weaknesses and how they stack up against your opponents’ Pokemon.
Read on to learn what they are, as well as find out which are the best Fairy-type Pokémon to catch, train, and use to achieve victory while playing Pokémon Go.

The best Fairy-type Pokémon in Pokémon Go
gardevoir
Gardevoir has powerful stats in Pokémon Go, especially attack. This attack can also be boosted even further using a Shadow form Gardevoir, though keep in mind that this will also mean it has a lower defense.
Gardevoir evolves from Ralts via Kirlia using candy. Keep a Ralts or a Kirlia as your friend, feed them fruit while they’re defending the gyms, and grab more to get all the candy you need.
Gardevoir is a psychic and fairy type. He is resistant to psychic attacks and especially fighters and dragon types. However, he is vulnerable to Poison, Ghost, and Steel-type attacks.
Granbull
The dog-like Granbull is another potentially strong fairy type available for battles in Pokémon Go. Like Gardevoir, Granbull also has a Shadow form to consider for extra attack power, trading a lower defense.
Granbull can also be evolved from Snubbull caught in the wild. Again, get plenty of Snubbull and use the friend and gym systems to get more candy and evolve that Snubbull into the more powerful Granbull.
Granbull is a pure fairy type pokemon. It is resistant to Fighting, Bug, Dark, and especially Dragon-type attacks. However, he is vulnerable to poison and steel type attacks.
Xerneas
The legendary Pokémon Xerneas is a powerful option for when you want to add a fairy type to your Pokémon Go team. It has a strong attack stat in particular.
However, Xerneas being a Legendary Pokémon means that it is not always available for capture. It is only available in five-star raid battles, and pokemon in raid battle groups are changed frequently. Keep an eye out for when Xerneas can return to raid battles if you want to grab one for your battle team.
Like Granbull, Xerneas is also a pure Fairy-type Pokémon. It is resistant to Fighting, Bug, Dark, and especially Dragon-type attacks. However, he is vulnerable to poison and steel type attacks.
sylveon
The Eeveelution Sylveon fairy type can be useful in PvP as it is bulkier than many of the other fairy types available in Pokémon Go.
Sylveon can be evolved from Eevee in two ways. If it’s your first time, you can use the nickname “Kira” alongside 25 candies to ensure Eevee becomes Sylveon. If not, you need to put Eevee as your friend and reach the “large” level to ensure it becomes a Sylveon fairy type.
Once again, Sylveon is a pure Fairy-type Pokémon. It is resistant to Fighting, Bug, Dark, and especially Dragon-type attacks. However, he is vulnerable to poison and steel type attacks.
