| HP | 30 | 60 | 90 | 140 | 260 | 237 |
| Biggest attack | 10 | 20 | 30 | 73 | 200 | 220 |
Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 237 Fairy cards that carry one. The typical card is 90 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 60 and 140 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 11.5% of the highest | 30 HP |
| Lower quarter | 23.1% of the highest | 60 HP |
| Typical | 34.6% of the highest | 90 HP |
| Upper quarter | 53.8% of the highest | 140 HP |
| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 260 HP |
The largest printed damage number on each of the 220 Fairy cards that print one. The typical card hits for 30. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 20 and 73. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.
| Group | Share | Value |

| Lowest | 5.0% of the highest | 10 damage |
| Lower quarter | 10.0% of the highest | 20 damage |

How do Fairy Pokémon cards evolve?
The 4 cards above are different Pokémon. One card stands in for each printed stage so the order is visible — it is not the evolution of a single Pokémon.
- The printed stage climbs Basic → Stage 1 → Stage 2 → BREAK inside this group.
- 140 of the 228 cards that print a stage are Basic — they go down straight from the hand with nothing underneath.
- Across the cards drawn on this page HP runs from 40 to 260, and the later stages sit at the top of that range.
| Stage | Cards | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 61.4% | |
| Stage 1 | 32.0% | |
| Stage 2 | 5.7% | |
| BREAK | 0.9% |
Basic cards are played straight from the hand; the later stages have to evolve from the card before them. Trainer and Energy cards print no stage and are left out of this count.

| Legal in Standard today | 0 | 0.0% |

| Cards with an Ability | 42 | 17.7% |
| Cards with a special rule | 59 | 24.9% |
Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 237 Fairy cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 0.0% | 0 cards |
| Legal in Expanded today | 99.6% | 236 cards |
| Cards with an Ability | 17.7% | 42 cards |
| Cards with a special rule | 24.9% | 59 cards |

Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.
These six together cost $2.52, against $624.99 for the single dearest Fairy card. The two ends of the same group sit 1,736× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Fairy".
How Fairy compares with the other types
"Which type is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Fairy is number 11 of 11 types, on Unbroken Bonds #205 at $624.99. By card count it is number 11, and by the price of an ordinary card number 4 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
All 11 types by the price of an ordinary card. Track length is that price against Lightning, the dearest at $3.75.
These are the types that sit next to Fairy on that ladder.
Lightning — 1,520 cardsMostly weak to Fightingtypical $3.75

Every card that prints a type symbol falls into one of these 11 groups.
Size is the first thing people mean by "big", so it gets its own ranking here.
Counted by how many cards exist, Fairy is number 11 of 11 types with 237. By the price of an ordinary card it is number 4 — size and price are two different questions, and this page keeps them apart.
The 12 dearest of the 237 cards in this group, read on 2026-08-14. The symbol beside each card is the type it prints.
Every figure here is the same count read three ways. The needle on each track is the baseline that row compares against, so a bar that stops short of the needle is a group smaller than that baseline.

Before you rely on these figures
Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Fairy cards, taken from a daily snapshot of public marketplace listings read on August 14, 2026. They are not offers, they exclude shipping, duty and marketplace fees, and they move. Counts cover only the English cards this site holds on file. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
