On nights with many shooting stars, Cleffa can be seen dancing in a ring. They dance until daybreak, when they quench their thirst with the morning dew.

Cleffa's name is a contraction of the name Clefairy, to indicate it is a pre-evolution. Clef is French for (musical) key. Its Japanese name is also a contraction of the name Pippi. The French name is a contraction of the word melody.
