Clefairy

As a result of Clefairy’s solid Eviolite-augmented bulk and access to reliable recovery in Soft-Boiled, Clefairy is capable of functioning as an effective check to many threatening special attackers, such as Rotom-F and Silvally-Dragon. Clefairy also has access to a stellar defensive ability in Magic Guard, which blocks all forms of passive damage, making it immune to entry hazards and allowing it to act as a status absorber, which is particularly useful for Calm Mind sets. On top of this, Clefairy boasts an amazing support movepool, with moves such as Knock Off, Stealth Rock, and Thunder Wave in its arsenal, making Clefairy one of few Pokemon in the tier to have both Stealth Rock and recovery. Unfortunately, Clefairy is heavily reliant on its Eviolite to check most special attackers due to its otherwise below-average bulk, making it vulnerable to Knock Off and thus shaky as a Dark-type check. Even with its Eviolite intact, Clefairy is unfortunately unable to reliably switch into many of the stronger special attackers in the tier such as Aurorus, Jellicent, and Drampa, and struggles against strong physical attackers such as Stoutland and Golurk as a result of its poor physical bulk. In addition, Clefairy's passive nature and Fairy-typing unfortunately leaves it helpless against a variety of threatening wallbreakers including Victreebel and Aggron, and often gives these Pokemon free entry. As a result, Clefairy is largely restricted to bulkier, more defensive teams, where these weaknesses can be patched up.
