Strategy Overview
Clefairy might seem like a strange option compared to other more common redirection users such as Amoonguss and Togekiss, as its stats aren't very good. However, Clefairy has an ace up its sleeve in the form of Friend Guard, which boosts the defenses of its partners by 33%. Follow Me support in general is great at redirecting important placement-ignoring moves such as Dark Pulse, Aura Sphere, and Dragon Pulse, but Clefairy has other useful support moves such as Snatch and Heal Pulse. Eviolite also does a decent job of making Clefairy bulky while stepping around the Item Clause.
Unfortunately, Clefairy is also massively weak to Taunt: as soon as it gets Taunted, Clefairy is forced to Struggle or use weak attacks such as Icy Wind and Moonblast. Clefairy generally relies on its other two partners for offense, and because of its redirection-based nature and mediocre defenses, it's very easy for Clefairy to get KOed early if you place it in the middle of your team. Overall, Clefairy is a niche Pokemon that isn't very threatening on its own, but its amazing support capbilities make it well worth consideration for any Battle Spot Triples team.
