The Pokemon TCG will no longer include new Fairy-type Pokemon starting with the release of the upcoming Sword and Shield series, according to a list of rule changes posted on Pokemon.com.
All previously released Fairy Pokemon cards will still be legal in their respective formats, but there will be no new Fairy-type Pokemon cards introduced going forward. Fairy Energy may also continue to be used, although the site says that may change in the future.
Fairy-type Pokemon from the video games will still be included in the TCG, but they will now mostly fall under the Psychic-type in the TCG. As part of this type rearrangement, Pokemon that are Poison-type in the video games will now be represented as Darkness Pokemon in the TCG -- presumably to make room for the incoming Fairy-types, and at the same time bolster the slim roster of Dark-type Pokemon.
