    By 4 Mins Read

    The Fairy Type is one of the eighteen Pokémon types and is the most recent addition among all of them. It brought up a huge shake-up on its addition back in X and Y, especially towards Dragon types. One notable trainer in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet who specializes in Fairy types is Ortega of the Ruchbah Squad.
