Poison/Fairy strategy: Dragon immunity with three 2× weaknesses
Poison/Fairy and Fairy/Poison are the same defensive pairing; this page uses poison-fairy as the canonical URL. Poison/Fairy blocks Dragon while pressuring Fairy, Grass, Dragon, Dark, and Fighting targets. Representative Pokémon include Galarian Weezing, Fezandipiti. The standard type chart gives this combination no 4× weakness and 2× weak to Ground, Psychic, Steel. It is immune to Dragon. Its main defensive value comes from ¼× resists Fighting, Bug; ½× resists Grass, Dark, Fairy, but stats, ability, item, and format still decide whether a real Pokémon can use those entries repeatedly.
Offensive plan
Poison STAB threatens Fairy and Grass targets, while Fairy STAB pressures Dragon, Dark, and Fighting targets. Ground, Psychic, and Steel are the direct weaknesses, and there is no 4× weakness. The typing is useful when it can punish Fairy and Dragon lanes without giving Steel free progress.
Counterplay and defensive risks
To counter Poison/Fairy, start with the chart pressure: Ground, Psychic, Steel. If a 4× weakness is listed, preserve that attack type before revealing it; if there is no 4× weakness, repeated 2× pressure and hazard chip usually matter more than a single surprise hit. Scout for abilities, Terastallization, weather, recovery, and pivot moves before assuming the visible multiplier ends the exchange.
Team-building advice
Poison/Fairy needs Ground, Psychic, and Steel answers. Flying, Dark, Fire, and Steel-resistant partners can cover those lanes while Poison/Fairy absorbs Fairy and Dragon pressure. Use the Team Calculator to check whether the rest of the six stacks the same Ground, Psychic problem, then compare the full defensive chart before choosing moves or teammates.
