The Fairy-type is one of the most powerful types in Pokemon GO Battle League because of its extensive neutral offensive coverage. These creatures have the unique ability to deal super-effective damage to Fighters, Dragons, and Dark-types— three of the most oppressive offensive types in the game.

The Max Out GO Battle League balance changes have buffed the Fairy-type Fast Attack. It now deals 2 damage per turn (as compared to 1.5) while generating the same 4.5 energy. Charm, another Fast Attack of this type that deals 5 damage per turn, is extremely oppressive to deal with, especially with attack-weighted users.

The buff to Fairy Wind has brought some unique Fairies into the fold of the Great League and Ultra League meta in the Max Out update. Here are some of the best Fairy-types you should build for the Pokemon GO Battle League Max Out update.
