Best Fairy-type Pokemon for Pokemon GO PvP

Many Fairy-type Pokemon were released when Pokemon GO launched in 2016. The title recently celebrated its eighth anniversary by throwing a party event, and as of now, we have a total of 53 Fairy-type species available to collect and train. Not all of them are strong in all battle modes, but some are. Others are only good in PvE plays, including Gym defense and Raids.

In contrast, the Fairy-type Pocket Monsters we will look at in this article are strong for Pokemon GO PvP. That said, here’s the simulated data from PvPoke to find out which ones are best in the Great League, Ultra League, Master League, and Fantasy Cup.

3) Master League

The Master League in Pokemon GO is an open format with no limitation on CP, giving trainers the option to choose a Fairy-type Pokemon of their liking. While this does give one the freedom of choice, it is wise to choose strong pocket monsters because of the stiff competition.

• Xerneas (#18), best moveset, Geomancy, and Close Combat + Moonblast
• Hero Zacian (#33), best moveset, Snarl and Close Combat + Wild Charge
• Florges (#34), best moveset, Fairy Wind and Disarming Voice + Moonblast
• Incarnate Enamorus (#78), best moveset, Fairy Wind and Fly + Dazzling Gleam
• Togekiss (#99), best moveset, Charm and Ancient Power + Aura Sphere

Pokemon GO PvP’s Fantasy Cup - Great League Edition has identical CP caps to that of the Great League. However, this mode only allows the entry of specific types of species, including Dragon-, Steel-, and Fairy-type Pokemon.

• Clefable (#46), best moveset, Fairy Wind and Meteor Mash + Moonblast
• Florges (#48), best moveset, Fairy Wind and Disarming Voice + Moonblast
• Togetic (#55), best moveset, Fairy Wind and Aerial Ace + Dazzling Gleam
• Slurpuff (#65), best moveset, Charm and Flamethrower + Energy Ball
• Shadow Granbull (#68), best moveset, Charm and Close Combat + Crunch

As of writing, none of the Fairy-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO are perfect for the Great League competition. However, the rest of them are good for the Ultra League, Master League, and Fantasy Cup.
