This is because when breeding, only the first egg group counts if a Pokemon is in two egg groups (source). So your Pikachu and Pachirisnow are considered to have the Field Egg Group for breeding purposes, making them compatible with each other and incompatible with the Fairy Egg Group Plusle (Flirty).

Try putting in a Pokemon that has either only Fairy or Fairy listed as the first egg group! :D

(Regular and event Pokemon are still compatible with each other as long as they share the same first egg group by the way!)
