Pokémon weakness guide

Ice / Fairy Weaknesses and Counters

This guide explains the defensive matchup for Ice / Fairy Pokémon, including combined weaknesses, resistances, immunities, and the safest counter types.

Battle notes

  • Ice / Fairy intensifies Steel into a 4x weakness, so those attacks are the cleanest punish.
  • Because dual types multiply both defensive matchups, Steel attacks (4x) is the most direct way to punish this combination under the modern Gen 6+ chart.
  • Avoid defaulting to Dragon, Ice, Bug, Dark attacks unless you have a specific reason; this typing resists or blocks those lines of play.
  • This exact typing exists in the current National Dex, so the matchup is useful for real Pokémon pages and team planning.

Best counter types

These attacking types hit the defender for super-effective damage under the modern Gen 6+ type chart.
