Strategy Overview

Clefable is a niche Fairy-type in Ubers that is immune to entry hazards and status thanks to Magic Guard. Its vast movepool gives it all the tools it needs to properly support its teammates; it can set Stealth Rock, stick around with Soft-Boiled, remove valuable items with Knock Off, and consistently checks Yveltal. However, its subpar base stats leave it in Xerneas's dust as a defensive Fairy-type, as it fails to check prominent physical attackers such as Groudon, Choice Band Marshadow, and offensive Zygarde. As such, it's almost exclusively used for its ability to compress Stealth Rock and Thunder Wave in one teamslot.
