My preference is for Fairies that aren't overwhelmingly twee, which means my pool of favourites is relatively small.

1: Galarian Weezing. I grew up near much of the UK's industrial heartland - near Stoke, no less - and given Weezing was already a solid placement on my favourites list, his Galarian form catapulted him into my top six. Heck, I cosplayed as one half of him last year(and happened to bump into another, taller half!). It also goes to show much of an impact a relatively small change can make to an existing Pokémon - Weezing went from the competitive doldrums to the top player in UU without a single change to his stats!

2: Grimmsnarl. Gotta love some nasty greenskins. One of Galar's strengths is casting the Fairy net wide to incorporate some folklore-ish/fey archetypes, and Grimmsnarl fits the bill perfectly. Quite the competitive hit, too, despite unspectacular stats.

3: Xerneas. My favourite Fairy for quite some time, again due to the fact that it embodies older, more mystical themes. After a slew of Dragons (or dragon-like creatures) dominating the box art, it was neat to get a more animalistic mascot.

Sylveon and Magearna are my favorites. I always thought that Mew should've been turned into a half Fairy Pokemon in Generation 6 but for some reason GF didn't do that.

I always thought Mew had a more science-y rather than mystical vibe to it; y'know what with it resembling an embryo, Mewtwo's umbilical, that whole progenitor thing. Gen 1 had a lot of that dark science/impact of mankind stuff going on.

I hardly use Fairy-types on my teams however since I think most of them look too feminine, and my teams tend to have tough-looking Pokemon.

Impidimp, Morgrem and Grimmsnarl do look a bit masculine to me, so we do have a masculine-looking Fairy Pokémon. Primarina is also more likely to be male than female, so it could count as well, as can Mime Jr. and Mr. Mime (if they're male, obviously).

They do counteract the claim that Fairy Pokémon are “too feminine.” Same with Galarian Weezing and to an extent Granbull. The Togepi line is sort of odd because they are almost always male yet they look really feminine with Togetic being the most feminine looking of the three. One line i still don’t understand why they didn’t become Fairy types is the Chansey line. Literally everything about those three scream Fairy type! They bring joy and happiness which is a thing most associated with being blessed by fairies, they learn several Fairy type attacks, Chansey brings good luck which is another thing fairies have been known to bestow on humans, and they will give their opponents items using Bestow which is similar to fairies leaving gifts out for humans to find. I’m ignoring the fact they’re in the Fairy Egg group as it doesn’t matter what typing the Pokémon have in the Groups since there’s always that one that makes absolutely no sense as to why they are even in that group e.g. Archen in Water Group 3.

Most Fairy-types looks ugly to me, but I do like Xerneas for the above reason. Bored of those Dragon/Godzilla-like Pokemon filling the Gen 1 & 4 Pokemon.

Xerneas being the mascot for X was a nice counter to all the Dragons who dominated Gen 4 and 5's box art.

Mimikyu, best fairy type. Far an away the most interesting Pika Clone. Fun in the anime and interesting competitively.

Well, I seldom like mascot Pokemon, with the only ones I like are from Gen 3, 6, and 8. My most favorite one is gen 6 because the mascots looks like the titles if looked from the front (Xerneas looks like a big X and Yveltal looks like a big Y. This also applies to Zygarde).

  • Gen I: Clefable. It's always been this cool rare Pokemon, it's from space and is rather appealing to me
  • Gen II: Togepi. Not a strong Pokemon, but it is adorable, I like it because it lets me use Metronome, and it introduces eggs to us
  • Gen III: Gardevoir isn't just a waifu, but a powerful one
  • Gen IV: Togekiss. Alright, I already mentioned its line, but still I don't have much choice here. And Togekiss was a well-needed evolution for Togetic
  • Gen V: Whimsicott by default
  • Gen VI: Look at my profile. Klefki really grew on me while waiting for another team member and I chose it
  • Gen VII: Has to go to Mimikyu. Great concept and design. No wonder Disguise was nerfed
  • Gen VIII: Either Hatterene the Ara Ara Pokemon or edgy boi Grimmsnarl
