Strategy Overview

Fairy

Klefki's Prankster ability and access to Light Screen, Reflect, Thunder Wave and Spikes make it very effective as a support and utility Pokemon. Dual screens are very important, as Fairy is a setup-oriented type. Klefki's Steel / Fairy typing gives it an immunity to Poison, a neutrality to Steel, and many resistances allowing it to switch in to strong wallbreakers such as Weavile, Mega Gardevoir, Alakazam and Meloetta. It is also a situational switch-in to Hydreigon, Kyurem-B, Tornadus-T, Gengar, and more, allowing it to cripple them with Thunder Wave. Its access to Foul Play allows it to check Mega Scizor, the biggest threat to Fairy-type teams. Klefki should be played with carefully, as it lacks offensive presence and its stats all around are subpar without support from screens; it is also walled by any Ground- and Electric-type Pokemon.
