Although it may not seem like it today, the Pokemon universe didn’t have a fairy-type for a long time. Although some Pokémon, such as Granbull and Cleferi, are indeed defined as fairy creatures in the Pokédex, typing was not formally introduced to the Pokémon series until the release of Pokémon X and Y in 2013.

Since then, many more Pokémon have been created to match the grand concept, and some Pokémon before the sixth generation (such as Cleferi and Granbull) were blessed with fairy-types. However, few people truly grasp the wonder and folklore of fairies; They range from real unicorns to Pokemon that look like British candy.
Top 10 fairy-type pokemon
Granbull
Granbull’s design is the least faerie-like, which makes it weird. The Pokemon appears to be a bipedal bulldog with an aggressive personality. According to the Pokédex entry in Pokémon Gold, he is “actually timid and easily intimidated”.
As for the origins of faerie-typing, Granbull may have taken inspiration from the Celtic mythological dog known as the Cù-sith/Cú Sidhe. The fear of these mythical hounds matches the rugged exterior of the granbull and their pre-evolutionary snowbull. But their nature is warm, kind like real dogs.
Scream Tail
Like other Paradox creatures in Pokemon Scarlet, Scream Tail gives Jigglypuff a fundamental advantage, with its long hair and teeth. Scream Tail still has the appeal of its offspring, as its spherical shape and pink color scheme make it look like a balloon.
Yet upon closer inspection, Paradox Pokemon Scream Tail’s golden eyes and teeth reveal a sinister appearance. This ties in with Jigglypuff’s description in the Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee’s Pokedex, which reads, “Uses its cute round eyes to charm its enemy.”
Wigglytuff
Wigglytuff transforms into a giant rabbit-like creature, adding to Jigglypuff’s attractiveness. Wigglytuff’s large, blue eyes and pale pink fur are characteristic of his ancestors. Referring to his fairy-typing, Jigglypuff, like Cleffery and Clefable, can only evolve through exposure to a moonstone.
Like Jigglypuff, it is referred to as the Balloon Pokemon, however it appears to be based on the Moon Rabbit. Rabbit- or rabbit-like patterns on the moon are the basis of this mysterious creature that is mentioned in mythology around the world.
Cutiefly
Cutiefly is the smallest (and cutest) Pokemon. It looks like a miniature fairy butterfly crossed with a bumblebee. Finally, it goes by the name of the Bee Fly Pokemon, which is an insect. These tiny creatures are not related to wasps and do not bite or sting; Instead they collect nectar.
This Pokemon, like Riolu and Lucario, can sense auras despite its small size. According to the Pokédex entry in Pokémon Sun, it uses the ability to “detect which flowers are about to bloom.”
Clefairy
Clefairy is an early fairy-type Pokémon in the franchise. Although his design began as a simple type, it was clearly influenced by a charming fairy-like creature, as shown by its small wings and star-shaped form. According to the Pokedex entry in Pokemon Gold, Clefairy does not use wings for flight. Instead, it stores moonlight inside them and allows them to float.
As stated in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, “Frail growing wings give him a beautiful fairy-like quality,” groups of Cleferi are usually seen dancing under the light of a full moon.
Hatterene
Hatren’s beautiful pastel blues and pinks blend into the eerie, witchy atmosphere. The dual Fairy/Psychic-type Hatrine, also known as the Silent Pokemon, may look docile, but it’s actually quite an aggressive Pokemon, especially with its light like tassels on its tentacles.
The design of this Pokémon is very witch-like, but may also have been influenced by Harionago, a female yakai with “needle-like, barbed hooked” hair at the ends. Trainers who make too much noise about Hatren risk being “torn apart by the claws on his tentacles,” as the case Pokemon Shield says.
Tinkaton
In Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, Tinkaton has gained popularity among fans due to its remarkable strength. This Pokemon has a very simple appearance, but its Steel Hammer gives it a lot of power. Tinkatink, a Pokemon that starts out as a little mallet, appears to develop its weaponry as it matures.
The dual Fairy/Steel-type Tinkaton has feelings for Corvikknight and dislikes flying Pokemon. Gremlins were originally thought to be capable of sabotaging aircraft during World War II, which meant that Tinkaton’s design was based on them.
Alcremie
The area, modeled after the United Kingdom, was first released in the gallery. In addition, Pokemon is a symbol of British sweets: strawberries and cream. It also resembles an Eton Mess filled with strawberries, meringue and whipped cream.
Millsery has to hold specific candies as the player moves clockwise or counter-clockwise at different times of the day to evolve Millsery into Alcremy. Different fruits and sweets are used in place of strawberries in this technique to prepare different types of Alkremi.
Sylveon
Designed to match his pure fairy-type when typing was introduced in Pokemon X and Y, Sylvan is the most beautiful of all the Eeveelutions. The Pokemon adopts a pastel color scheme and has bows on its ears and neck. Silvon is similar to the Chinese moon god Chang’e, who frequently wears ribbons.
According to the Pokedex record in Pokemon Y, Sylveon uses ribbon-like “feelers” that wrap “around the arm of its beloved trainer as it walks with them”. According to Pokemon Sun’s Pokédex article, Sylvan can also use these fuzzy appendages to capture his enemies as the sentient “releases an aura that weakens the enemy in its beauty, allowing it to protect them.”
Galarian Ponyta
With its small horn, Rapidash has always exuded a unicorn-like aura, but in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, this aspect of its appearance is fully realized. Galerian Rapidash assumes the form of a mystical unicorn, complete with mane and tail hair that is silky and pastel in color. This regional variation has a dreamy appearance similar to the ponyta pre-evolution.
Referring to the legend that unicorn horns can cure poison, Galerian Rapidash and Ponyta have the skill Pastel Wheel, which protects allies from the effects of poison.
