Clefable

Clefable, who was one of the most versatile Pokemon in DPP UU, makes a comeback, this time in RU. Clefable possesses respectable special bulk, along with reliable healing and an amazing ability in Magic Guard. it also has great support moves in its arsenal, such as Wish, Heal Bell, and Stealth Rock. All these traits make its a great special wall, Wish passer, cleric, and hazard setter. Magic Guard gives it immunity to any form of passive damage, which greatly hinders any other wall's effectiveness. To top it all off, Clefable has a very wide attacking movepool, allowing its to surprise many checks and counters. It can pack quite a punch, as Magic Guard gives its the ability to use Life Orb and moves such as Double-Edge without any recoil. Finally, when holding a Toxic Orb, Clefable can act as a great status absorber and also use a very powerful Facade.

However as with everything, Clefable has its flaws. The lack of useful resistances--Normal-types only have one immunity, to Ghost-type moves--hurts its, as it often finds it difficult to wall very strong special attacks. Another drawback is its somewhat low physical bulk and weakness to Fighting-type moves, which makes its very vulnerable to strong physical attackers, Fighting-type Pokemon in particular. All in all, Clefable is a great Pokemon who will provide valuable team support throughout the match if you use it correctly.
