Movesets for Singles
Looking for a competitive moveset for Cleffa? These builds are optimized for Sword/Shield Single Battles. The movesets and EVs are designed to maximize damage against common opponents and threats in the Sword/Shield metagame. Check out the expert movesets below to boost your battle performance and dominate your opponents!
Say hello to Cleffa, a superior Pokémon that excels with Fairy typing! Cleffa is not a Pokémon anyone usually expects to see on the battlefield. It can be quite a contender in the LC tier (Little Cup). Its only type-related weaknesses are Poison and Steel. Delve into Cleffa's movesets below and strategize for victory!
In single battles, Cleffa's Special Sweeper role is a superb. This approach seeks to take down the opponent's team with formidable special attacks. Throat Spray activates when a Pokemon uses a sound-based move (in this case Hyper Voice) and strengthens Cleffa's special attack stat by 2 stages. Life Orb boosts the power of Cleffa's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. However, Magic Guard negates the recoil damage from Life Orb while still increasing the damage making it an amazing item for Cleffa. With Magic Guard, Cleffa can only be damaged by direct attacks.
◆ Psychic is a special 90-base power Psychic-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage). ◆ Psyshock is a special 80-base power Psychic-type move (damages target based on defense, not special defense). ◆ Flamethrower is a special 90-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target). ◆ Hyper Voice is a special 90-base power Normal-type move (no additional effect. Hits adjacent foes). ◆ Shadow Ball is a special 80-base power Ghost-type move (20% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage).
