Strategy Overview

Unaware gives Clefable a niche in Ubers by allowing it to counter dangerous setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Arceus, Calm Mind Arceus, and Geomancy Xerneas. Clefable's access to good support moves such as Heal Bell and Wish allows it to heal its teammates, although the Wishes it passes are not especially large. Unfortunately, Clefable has mediocre defenses, but it can only invest in one defense stat; as such, it cannot check Swords Dance Arceus and Geomancy Xerneas with the same set. Clefable is also susceptible to all entry hazards, and it can be beaten by setup sweepers if it has been worn down too much by entry hazards. Additionally, Clefable is bait for numerous dominant threats in Ubers, such as Mega Gengar, Primal Groudon, and Ho-Oh.
