Clefairy (Japanese: ピッピ Pippi) is 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
Physiology
Clefairy appears to be a larger and more detailed version of its pre-evolution. Its stocky arms have now gained three digits on each of its hands, two of which appear to have grown nails. Each of its feet has gained a single clawed toe and its star-shaped body has now become more rounded, giving it a more chubby appearance. Its mouth has gained an elongated left canine and it has gained a wrinkle on either side of its eyes similar to crow's feet. The curl on its forehead and tail is now larger, and its ears are now longer, slightly less rounded, and primarily pink with brown tips and black undersides. It has gained small wings on its back, which are incapable of flight. Some more basic aspects have been left the same, as they are both tailed bipeds.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
The most well known ability that a Clefairy has is the ability to use 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 one of three Pokémon able to learn Meteor Mash.
Prior to Generation V, Clefairy and its evolution family were the only Pokémon that could possess the Magic Guard ability, which prevents all forms of indirect damage.
Behavior
Clefairy are very shy and timid creatures. As such, they rarely show themselves to humans. They are among the most intelligent of all Pokémon, being capable of forming society and religion. They are also capable of constructing various means of transport. Clefairy also seem to have gained a reputation as kleptomaniacs, since there have been various reports of Clefairy being seen stealing random junk.
Habitat
Clefairy are extraterrestrial Pokémon, and as such 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, and around Kyurem's crater in the Giant Chasm in Unova.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Clefairy's diet is unknown, although the presence of a canine tooth may indicate that it is an omnivore. They are occasionally found with Leppa Berries.
In the anime
Major appearances
Clefairy's debut appearance was in Clefairy and the Moon Stone.
A group of Clefairy were going around stealing random junk in Viridian City to repair their spaceship during Clefairy Tales. Their leader got beaten up by Jigglypuff for stealing its microphone/pen. These Clefairy made another brief appearance in Wish Upon a Star Shape.
In 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 his Cyndaquil.
Several Clefairy also appeared in A Real Cleffa-Hanger, when Ash and his friends visited Mt. Moon again.
Minor appearances

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

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.

Trivia
- The prototype name for Clefairy was "Aria."
- 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 Clefable via Moon Stone, making them some of the few Glitch Pokémon to undergo two evolutions. Both of these Pokémon can also optionally evolve into 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 Glitch Pokémon LM4 also evolves into Clefairy at level 18, and can then evolve into Nidoking immediately afterwards.
- Clefairy is the first Pokémon not to have a base happiness of 70. Its base happiness is 140.
- Clefairy and Clefable share the same species name with Snubbull and Granbull. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
- Clefairy was originally going to be the official mascot of Pokémon, but Pikachu was used instead due to the popularity of the anime and Pikachu's familiarity with fans.[1][2]
- Despite what its Pokédex entries may insinuate, Clefairy does not have the Ability Levitate.
- Despite it possessing the required anatomy, Clefairy is not part Flying-type, nor can it learn a single move that involves its wings.
- Clefairy is the only Pokémon that is not related to Psychic-type evolutionarily or through form differences that can learn Cosmic Power.
- Clefairy is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 323.
- The Poké Doll is an item based on Clefairy.
