Why did Pokemon TCG remove Fairy types?
So, here's the scoop - Pokemon TCG decided to ax Fairy types because they wanted to streamline the game mechanics. Basically, they figured Fairy types were too similar to Psychic types in terms of gameplay. By giving Fairy-type moves and traits to Psychic and other types, it made the game easier to balance and less confusing for players. Plus, it's not like the Fairy Pokemon disappeared; they just got reclassified.

Fairies are not gone! They just got a new club to hang with. The TCG folks decided that Psychic is the new Fairy. Maybe they ran out of pixie dust or something, but hey, your favorite Fairy-type moves are now rocking with the Psychic pals.
