Meet Clefairy, the notable Pokémon of Fairy types! Clefairy is not a Pokémon anyone usually expects to see on the battlefield. Its only type-related weaknesses are Poison and Steel. Discover how Clefairy excels in battles with the movesets provided below.
Item: Eviolite
Ability: Friend Guard
Nature: Sassy (+SpD, -Spe)
EVs: 156 Hp / 156 Def / 196 SpD
Moveset:
- Icy Wind
- Follow Me
- Helping Hand

In single battles, Clefairy's Double Wall role is a noteworthy. It's designed to have enough defenses and bulk to take both physical and special hits. Clefairy is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield without an Eviolite attached to it. If Eviolite is held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, it will raises the Defense and Special Defense of that Pokemon by 50%. With Friend Guard, Clefairy's allies receive 3/4 damage from other pokemon's attacks.
◆ Follow Me is a status move (the foes' moves target your Clefairy on the turn used).
◆ Helping Hand is a status move (one adjacent ally's move power is 1.5x this turn).
◆ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Clefairy this turn).
