==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Clefairy floating.png|thumb|200px|left|Clefairy floating]]
Clefairy appears to be a pink creature. It has stocky limbs and a round body which gives it a chubby appearance. It also possess large sensitive ears that have brown tips. It has small wings that seem incapable of flight, but allow it to bounce gracefully.
Clefairy is a bipedal, pink {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a chubby, vaguely star-shaped body. A small, pointed tooth protrudes from the upper left corner of its mouth. It has wrinkles beside its black, oval eyes, a single dark pink oval marking on each cheek, and large, pointed ears with brown tips. A tuft of fur curls over its forehead, much like its large, upward-curling tail. Each stocky arm has two small claws and a thumb on each hand, and both feet have a single toenail. There is a pair of tiny, butterfly-shaped wings on its back. Though incapable of flight, Clefairy's wings can store moonlight and allow it to float.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
The most well-known ability that a Clefairy has is the ability to use {{m|Metronome}}, a move that involves wiggling its fingers back and forth in order to execute any move at random. Even without Metronome, Clefairy is capable of learning a vast amount of elemental attacks. They can also store moonlight in their wings, allowing them to float in midair. It is also one of only three Pokémon that can learn {{m|Meteor Mash}}.


Before [[Generation V]], Clefairy and its evolution family were the only Pokémon that could possess the {{a|Magic Guard}} ability, which prevents all forms of indirect damage.
Clefairy is very shy and rarely shows itself to humans. On the rare occasions that Clefairy comes down from its {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountain home}}, it can be seen dancing underneath the full moon's light. The area surrounding their dance is enveloped in a magnetic field. Once the sun rises, it returns home, where it sleeps nestled with other Clefairy. There have been many sightings of Clefairy during the morning aftermath of the full moon. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP062|Clefairy Tales]]'', Clefairy is depicted as an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]]. Clefairy is known to be popular thanks to both its adorable look and behavior. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], anyone who sees a Clefairy using {{m|Metronome}} while sleeping will receive happiness. This sighting is considered to be a very unusual sight to witness.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>


===Behavior===
Before [[Generation V]], Clefairy and its evolutionary relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Magic Guard}} as an [[Ability]].
Clefairy are very shy and timid creatures. As such, they rarely show themselves to humans. Clefairy also seem to have gained a reputation as kleptomaniacs, since there have been various reports of Clefairy being seen stealing random junk.
{{left clear}}


===Habitat===
===Evolution===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Clefairy evolves from {{p|Cleffa}} and evolves into {{p|Clefable}}.
Clefairy are elusive Pokémon in the wild. The best place to find them is [[Mt. Moon]], especially at a night during a full moon. Wherever they live, they are likely to be in an area where the moon is clear and visible at night. They can also be found on [[Mt. Coronet]] in [[Sinnoh]] as well.

|pictype=art
===Major appearances===
|no1=0173
While Clefairy's first appearance was in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', in the original pilot episode, Clefairy was intended to be {{Ash}}'s starting Pokémon. Due to a last minute change, the role went to {{p|Pikachu}}. This would have made the anime closer to the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, which would later be referenced in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', where its main character, [[Isamu Akai]], along with his {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Isamu Akai|Pikachu}} appeared in a film Ash was watching.
|name1=Cleffa
 
|type1-1=Fairy
A group of Clefairy were going around stealing random junk in [[Viridian City]] to repair their spaceship during ''[[EP062|Clefairy Tales]]''. Their leader got beaten up by {{an|Jigglypuff}} for stealing its microphone/pen. These Clefairy made another brief appearance in ''[[EP246|Wish Upon a Star Shape]]''.
|evo1=
 
|no2=0035
Several Clefairy also appeared in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', when Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} visited [[Mt. Moon]] again.

|type1-2=Fairy
===Minor appearances===

In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', a Clefairy was used by [[Whitney]] to send [[Team Rocket]] flying and in the Gym Battle against {{Ash}}. The Fairy Pokémon was defeated by [[Ash's Cyndaquil]].

==In the manga==
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Clefairy Electric Tale.jpg|thumb|right|A Clefairy approaches Ash in ''Clefairy Tale'']]
There are two chapters in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga which focus on Clefairy.
 
In the third chapter of the manga, ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', {{Ash}} discovers a colony of Clefairy with [[Bill]] and [[Professor Oak]]. The three humans assist with and witness an [[evolution]] ceremony. This chapter appears to be loosely based on the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''.
 
The second chapter to feature Clefairy is ''[[ET10|Clefairy in Space]]'', the tenth chapter of the manga. In this chapter, a herd of {{pkmn2|wild}} Clefairy are causing trouble in Apple City, where rumors are circulating that Clefairy come from outer space. This chapter was based on the anime episode ''[[EP062|Clefairy Tales]]''.
 
===In Magical Pokémon Journey and Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪===
{{main|Clefairy (MPJ)}}
One of [[Hazel]]'s main traveling companions in the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga is a timid, shy Clefairy. Clefairy tends to be very cowardly, but when he actually does battle, he can use his powerful {{m|Metronome}} attack.
 
Clefairy also returns as a main character in [[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]].
 
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Green}} had a Clefairy that later evolved into {{p|Clefable}} when {{adv|Red}} used his {{evostone|Moon Stone}} on it. Although it was used only once for distraction against [[Sabrina]] prior to evolving, its increased power allowed it to stall [[Zapmolcuno]] for a short period of time with its {{m|Metronome}}.
 
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{main|Isamu Akai's Clefairy}}
Clefairy is one of the main characters in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga and is [[Isamu Akai]]'s [[starter Pokémon]]. Clefairy is often very rude and stupid, gaining him the nickname "Blockhead Clefairy". He is the source of much {{wp|slapstick}} humor in the manga.
 
==In the TCG==
{{main|Clefairy (TCG)}}
 
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Clefairy will use {{m|Metronome}} to copy another Pokémon's move randomly.
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Clefairy also uses Metronome but uses its own series of attacks such as {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Explosion}}, or {{m|Fire Spin}}. All will hurt any opponents close to Clefairy.
 
====Trophy information====
Clefairy are very cute Pokémon, which makes them popular pets. However, as they're only found in a few areas, it takes a lot of work to find one. Strangely enough, legend has it that Clefairy are more active during the full moon. These Pokémon are known to use Metronome, a move that unleashes a randomly selected technique.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Clefairy leader.png|thumb|250px|Clefairy in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']]
====Major appearances====
=====Clefairy (recurring)=====
A peculiar group of Clefairy debuted in ''[[EP062|Clefairy Tales]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first encountered them after their spacecraft crash-landed near [[Viridian City]]. The Clefairy resorted to stealing items, including {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s signature microphone marker and even {{AP|Pikachu}}, from a nearby town to rebuild their spaceship.
 
The group, accompanied by [[Oswald]] and Jigglypuff, tracked the Clefairy to an underground cave and stormed the spaceship to recover Jigglypuff's microphone and Pikachu. Though Jigglypuff ended up defeating all of the Clefairy with {{m|Pound}}, the spacecraft still took off because of its preset launch, though Ash, his friends, and Jigglypuff escaped in time. Oswald remained on board until the spaceship crashed again in another village. As a result, the Clefairy once again began stealing the locals' items to return to orbit.
 
The Clefairy reappeared in ''[[EP246|Wish Upon a Star Shape]]'', where the group re-encountered them after their spacecraft crashed into a [[Johto]] mountainside. Prior to the crash-landing, the Clefairy beamed a {{p|Cleffa}} to safety, and it landed on [[Ash's Phanpy]]. Cleffa quickly struck up a friendship with Phanpy. It later led everyone to the crash site while also trying to escape {{TRT}} and the [[Pokémon Mystery Club]] (PMC).
 
The Clefairy went on to use the parts from [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]] and the PMC's machine to repair their spacecraft. Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} ultimately helped the craft lift off. In the process, Cleffa [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Clefairy and reunited with its family.
 
Its known moves are {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Double Slap}}, and {{m|Pound}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Clefairy (TCG)}}
 
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Clefairy will use {{m|Metronome}} to copy another Pokémon's move randomly.
 
According to an interview with Masahiro Sakurai, the director of the Super Smash Bros. series, in the May 1999 issue of The 64 DREAM, both Clefairy and [[Jigglypuff]] were considered to be added to the game as a clone of Kirby, with Jigglypuff ultimately being chosen for the game.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/64dream-may-1999-ozidual/64Dream%201999%2005%20%28J%20OCR%29/page/n91/mode/2up?view=theater The 64 DREAM May 1999, p. 91]. ところで、「どうして隠しキャラにプリンが?」っていう意見もあったりするんですが。 / ふつうの格闘ゲームは、基本になる骨格などを一緒に作って、やられるモーションなども使いまわすことができるんです。でも「スマブラ」の場合は基本の8キャラがすべて異なる体型で作られているんですね。その上、やられパターンとか倒れパターン、それに起き上がりら攻撃パターンや崖捕まりパターンなど、それぞれ違う作りをしていて、それらを全て作るのは、ふつうの格闘っていうレベルでみてもすごく大変なことなんです。それで、隠れキャラは基本キャラの骨格を使い回すことを前提にしたんです。なので、ネスとルイージはマリオと同じ骨格でできてるし、ファルコンはサムス、プリンはカービィと一緒というわけなんです。プリンを選んだのはそういった骨格の類似性もありましたが、それとは別に、「人気ポケモンは?」って考えたときに、最後まで残ったのがピッピとプリンだったんですね。カービィ体形でピッピを作ることも可能だったと思いますけど、とりあえずキャラクター的な性格からして、プリンの方がやられ役っぽさがあったので選びました。</ref>
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Clefairy reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', although Metronome has been modified to consist of four, random attacks:
 
*{{m|Gust}}: Any character caught in the whirlwind will take heavy amount of damage, but not enough to KO them. This can be SDI'd out of, allowing characters to escape or reduce damage taken.
*{{m|Fire Spin}}: This attack burns the ground around Clefairy, damaging any opponent caught in it. Like Gust, this can be SDI'd out of.
*{{m|Waterfall}}: This attack has high vertical knockback, large range, and hits many times, to the point that it can KO a character.
*{{m|Self-Destruct}}: This attack is similar to [[Electrode]]'s Explosion. Any character caught in the blast radius will take damage.
 
As in ''Smash 64'', the summoner is immune to damage from Clefairy's attacks, including Self-Destruct. Its Japanese voice clip comes from a different part of ''Clefairy and the Moon Stone'' while its English voice clip is the same one used in ''Smash 64''.
 
====Trophy information====
''Clefairy are very cute Pokémon, which makes them popular pets. However, as they're only found in a few areas, it takes a lot of work to find one. Strangely enough, legend has it that Clefairy are more active during the full moon. These Pokémon are known to use Metronome, a move that unleashes a randomly selected technique.''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Clefairy appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|prototype name]] for Clefairy was "Aria."
* The [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|prototype name]] for Clefairy was ''Aria''. The {{pmin|Russia}}n [[dub]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' used this name during the [[original series]].
* The [[Glitch Pokémon]] [[3TrainerPoké]] and [['M]] will both evolve into a Clefairy at level 128, a level unattainable by legitimate and unglitched Pokémon. These Clefairy can then evolve into {{p|Clefable}} via {{evostone|Moon Stone}}, making them some of the few Glitch Pokémon to undergo two evolutions. Both of these Pokémon can also optionally evolve into {{p|Kangaskhan}} instead of Clefairy if they manage to revert to Level 1. If they evolve into Kangaskhan, none of the two can evolve further.
** The {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub of the episode ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' calls Clefairy by its proper species name and "Aria" interchangeably.
**The Glitch Pokémon [[LM4]] also evolves into Clefairy at level 18, and can then evolve into {{p|Nidoking}} immediately afterwards.
* Clefairy and its evolved form [[List of categories by abundance|share]] their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Granbull}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
* Clefairy is the first Pokémon not to have a base happiness of 70. Its base happiness is 140.
** The "Fairy Pokémon" category predates the introduction of the {{type|Fairy}} in [[Generation VI]]. From this generation onwards, the type and category of these four Pokémon share the same English name. However, this is not true in Japanese, where the type is フェアリータイプ ''Fairy-type'' and the category is ようせいポケモン ''Yōsei Pokémon''.
*Clefairy and {{p|Clefable}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Granbull}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
* The [[Poké Doll]] is a Clefairy doll, as identified by the Japanese name of this item (ピッピにんぎょう ''{{tt|Pippi|Clefairy}} Doll'').
*Clefairy was originally going to be the official mascot of Pokémon, but {{p|Pikachu}} was used instead due to the popularity of the {{pkmn|anime}} and Pikachu's familiarity with fans.<ref>''[[Pikachu's Global Adventure]]: the Rise and Fall of Pokémon''. By Joseph Jay Tobin. Page 63.</ref><ref>Lucard, Alex. "Beckett's Ultimate Guide to Pikachu!" ''Beckett Pokémon Unofficial Collector'' July-Aug. 2010: 17.</ref>
 
*Despite what its Pokédex entries may insinuate, Clefairy does not have the ability {{a|Levitate}}.
===Concept and development===
**Despite it possessing the required anatomy, Clefairy is not part {{t|Flying}}-type, nor can it learn a single move that involves its wings.
According to an interview, Clefairy was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], and is one of [[Kōji Nishino]]'s favorite Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref>
*** Desspite Clefairy having wings, it cannot learn the move [[Fly]]
* Clefairy is the only Pokémon that is not related to {{type2|Psychic}} evolutionarily or through [[Form differences]] that can learn {{m|Cosmic Power}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
It seems to be based on a fairy, being a magical, somewhat humanoid, winged creature, lending credit to its name.
Clefairy seems to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|pixie}}s since it is a playful, magical, humanoid creature with wings. It may also be inspired by the concept of {{wp|extraterrestrial life}} due to its rumored celestial origins and vaguely {{wp|star}}-shaped body. It may also reference the mythical {{wp|Moon rabbit}} due to its large ears, various Moon related powers, and the fact that it evolves into Clefable using a [[Moon Stone]].
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Clefairy's name is a combination of ''{{wp|clef}}'', French for (musical) key, and ''{{wp|fairy}}''. Its Japanese name may be a shortening and repetition of the word ''{{wp|pixie}}''.
Clefairy may be a combination of ''{{wp|clef}}'' (musical symbol) and ''{{wp|fairy}}''.
 
Pippi may be derived from the repetition of the first syllable of ''{{wp|pixie}}''.

Clefairy (Japanese: ピッピ Pippi) is a Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation VI, it was a Normal-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Cleffa when leveled up with high friendship and evolves into Clefable when exposed to a Moon Stone.

Biology

Clefairy floating

Clefairy is a bipedal, pink Pokémon with a chubby, vaguely star-shaped body. A small, pointed tooth protrudes from the upper left corner of its mouth. It has wrinkles beside its black, oval eyes, a single dark pink oval marking on each cheek, and large, pointed ears with brown tips. A tuft of fur curls over its forehead, much like its large, upward-curling tail. Each stocky arm has two small claws and a thumb on each hand, and both feet have a single toenail. There is a pair of tiny, butterfly-shaped wings on its back. Though incapable of flight, Clefairy's wings can store moonlight and allow it to float.

Clefairy is very shy and rarely shows itself to humans. On the rare occasions that Clefairy comes down from its mountain home, it can be seen dancing underneath the full moon's light. The area surrounding their dance is enveloped in a magnetic field. Once the sun rises, it returns home, where it sleeps nestled with other Clefairy. There have been many sightings of Clefairy during the morning aftermath of the full moon. In the Pokémon the Series episode Clefairy Tales, Clefairy is depicted as an extraterrestrial Pokémon. Clefairy is known to be popular thanks to both its adorable look and behavior. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, anyone who sees a Clefairy using Metronome while sleeping will receive happiness. This sighting is considered to be a very unusual sight to witness.[1]

Before Generation V, Clefairy and its evolutionary relatives were the only known Pokémon that could have Magic Guard as an Ability.

Evolution

Clefairy evolves from Cleffa and evolves into Clefable.

Major appearances

Clefairy (recurring)

A peculiar group of Clefairy debuted in Clefairy Tales. Ash and his friends first encountered them after their spacecraft crash-landed near Viridian City. The Clefairy resorted to stealing items, including Jigglypuff's signature microphone marker and even Pikachu, from a nearby town to rebuild their spaceship.

The group, accompanied by Oswald and Jigglypuff, tracked the Clefairy to an underground cave and stormed the spaceship to recover Jigglypuff's microphone and Pikachu. Though Jigglypuff ended up defeating all of the Clefairy with Pound, the spacecraft still took off because of its preset launch, though Ash, his friends, and Jigglypuff escaped in time. Oswald remained on board until the spaceship crashed again in another village. As a result, the Clefairy once again began stealing the locals' items to return to orbit.

The Clefairy reappeared in Wish Upon a Star Shape, where the group re-encountered them after their spacecraft crashed into a Johto mountainside. Prior to the crash-landing, the Clefairy beamed a Cleffa to safety, and it landed on Ash's Phanpy. Cleffa quickly struck up a friendship with Phanpy. It later led everyone to the crash site while also trying to escape Team Rocket and the Pokémon Mystery Club (PMC).

The Clefairy went on to use the parts from Team Rocket's mecha and the PMC's machine to repair their spacecraft. Pikachu's Thunderbolt ultimately helped the craft lift off. In the process, Cleffa evolved into a Clefairy and reunited with its family.

Its known moves are Light Screen, Double Slap, and Pound.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros.

When released from a Poké Ball, Clefairy will use Metronome to copy another Pokémon's move randomly.

According to an interview with Masahiro Sakurai, the director of the Super Smash Bros. series, in the May 1999 issue of The 64 DREAM, both Clefairy and Jigglypuff were considered to be added to the game as a clone of Kirby, with Jigglypuff ultimately being chosen for the game.[2]

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Clefairy reappears in Super Smash Bros. Melee, although Metronome has been modified to consist of four, random attacks:

  • Gust: Any character caught in the whirlwind will take heavy amount of damage, but not enough to KO them. This can be SDI'd out of, allowing characters to escape or reduce damage taken.
  • Fire Spin: This attack burns the ground around Clefairy, damaging any opponent caught in it. Like Gust, this can be SDI'd out of.
  • Waterfall: This attack has high vertical knockback, large range, and hits many times, to the point that it can KO a character.
  • Self-Destruct: This attack is similar to Electrode's Explosion. Any character caught in the blast radius will take damage.

As in Smash 64, the summoner is immune to damage from Clefairy's attacks, including Self-Destruct. Its Japanese voice clip comes from a different part of Clefairy and the Moon Stone while its English voice clip is the same one used in Smash 64.

Trophy information

Clefairy are very cute Pokémon, which makes them popular pets. However, as they're only found in a few areas, it takes a lot of work to find one. Strangely enough, legend has it that Clefairy are more active during the full moon. These Pokémon are known to use Metronome, a move that unleashes a randomly selected technique.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Clefairy appears as a Spirit.

Trivia

  • The prototype name for Clefairy was Aria. The Russian dub of Pokémon the Series used this name during the original series.
  • Clefairy and its evolved form share their category with Snubbull and Granbull. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
    • The "Fairy Pokémon" category predates the introduction of the Fairy-type in Generation VI. From this generation onwards, the type and category of these four Pokémon share the same English name. However, this is not true in Japanese, where the type is フェアリータイプ Fairy-type and the category is ようせいポケモン Yōsei Pokémon.
  • The Poké Doll is a Clefairy doll, as identified by the Japanese name of this item (ピッピにんぎょう Pippi Doll).

Concept and development

According to an interview, Clefairy was designed by Ken Sugimori, and is one of Kōji Nishino's favorite Pokémon.[3]

Origin

Clefairy seems to be based on fairies and pixies since it is a playful, magical, humanoid creature with wings. It may also be inspired by the concept of extraterrestrial life due to its rumored celestial origins and vaguely star-shaped body. It may also reference the mythical Moon rabbit due to its large ears, various Moon related powers, and the fact that it evolves into Clefable using a Moon Stone.

Name origin

Clefairy may be a combination of clef (musical symbol) and fairy.

Pippi may be derived from the repetition of the first syllable of pixie.

The 64 DREAM May 1999, p. 91. ところで、「どうして隠しキャラにプリンが?」っていう意見もあったりするんですが。 / ふつうの格闘ゲームは、基本になる骨格などを一緒に作って、やられるモーションなども使いまわすことができるんです。でも「スマブラ」の場合は基本の8キャラがすべて異なる体型で作られているんですね。その上、やられパターンとか倒れパターン、それに起き上がりら攻撃パターンや崖捕まりパターンなど、それぞれ違う作りをしていて、それらを全て作るのは、ふつうの格闘っていうレベルでみてもすごく大変なことなんです。それで、隠れキャラは基本キャラの骨格を使い回すことを前提にしたんです。なので、ネスとルイージはマリオと同じ骨格でできてるし、ファルコンはサムス、プリンはカービィと一緒というわけなんです。プリンを選んだのはそういった骨格の類似性もありましたが、それとは別に、「人気ポケモンは?」って考えたときに、最後まで残ったのがピッピとプリンだったんですね。カービィ体形でピッピを作ることも可能だったと思いますけど、とりあえずキャラクター的な性格からして、プリンの方がやられ役っぽさがあったので選びました。
