Fairy EnergySword Shield Energy #9 Pokémon Card

Fairy Energy was introduced to the Pokémon Trading Card Game with the debut of the Fairy type in Generation VI, first appearing in the Pokémon X and Y video games. This type was created to balance the game by being super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon, which had previously only been weak to themselves. Fairy Pokémon are often depicted as graceful, magical, and benevolent creatures, drawing inspiration from various mythical beings like pixies, sprites, and angels. They are typically found in serene environments like forests, gardens, and ancient ruins, and their powers often revolve around light, healing, and enchantment. While not a Pokémon itself, this Fairy Energy card represents the vital force that powers Fairy-type Pokémon in battle, allowing them to utilize their unique attacks and abilities. Its introduction marked a significant shift in the TCG meta, providing a new strategic layer for players to consider when building their decks. The visual representation of Fairy Energy often includes symbols of light, stars, and ethereal glow, reflecting the mystical nature of the type.
