5 best Fairy-type Pokemon in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Fairy-type Pokemon is the most recent type addition to the series and a handful of powerful ones can be found in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

The type was introduced in Generation VI. That means the original versions of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl did not have a single Fairy-type found in the Sinnoh region.

Trainers can find Pokemon from Sinnoh that now have Fairy-typing. These Pokemon can also be acquired from different regions after obtaining the National Pokedex. As the bane of Dragon-type Pokemon, there are plenty of Fairy-types to find.
