Strategy Overview

Clefable is a great utility Pokemon, having access to decent bulk paired with Magic Guard as well as a good movepool that provides it with reliable recovery and the ability to set Stealth Rock. Magic Guard is especially useful, as it allows Clefable to serve as a status sponge for the rest of the team against Pokemon such as SubToxic Aegislash and Toxapex. It also means Clefable can come in freely against Spikes when going against types like Grass and Steel. Both these traits are very valuable due to Fairy teams commonly lacking entry hazard removal, making traditional teams susceptible to hazards like the aforementioned Spikes and Toxic Spikes. However, Clefable's bulk is not good enough to prevent it from being blown away by stronger wallbreakers such as Choice Specs Kyurem, Choice Specs Zapdos, and Choice Band Zeraora.
