To beat a Dark/Fairy Pokémon, use Poison, Steel and Fairy moves: they deal 2× damage. Do not waste turns on Psychic (0×), Dragon (0×), Dark (¼×) and Ghost (½×).

Dark/Fairy and Fairy/Dark are the same typing: in battle the order of a Pokémon's two types makes no difference, so a Fairy/Dark search lands on this page too.

Going the other way, Dark and Fairy moves between them hit Fighting, Psychic, Ghost, Dragon and Dark super effectively.

4 Pokémon have the Dark/Fairy typing: 3 species and 1 alternate form, first appearing in Generation 8.

The highest base stat total is Grimmsnarl with 510; the average across the group is 414.
