The most well-known ability that a Clefairy has is the ability to use Metronome, a move that involves wiggling it's fingers back and forth in order to execute any attack at random (even to the user). Even without Metronome, Clefairy is capable of learning a vast amount of elemental attacks.
Cute Charm: If The Opponent is of the opposite gender of Clefairy, it becomes Infatuated
Behavior
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.
Habitat

In the anime
While Clefairy's first appearance was in EP006; in the original pilot episode, Clefairy was intended to be Ash's starting Pokémon. Due to a last minute change, the role went to Pikachu. This would have made the anime closer to the Pocket Monsters manga, which would later be referenced in AG086, where its main character, Isamu Akai, along with his Clefairy and Pikachu appeared in a film Ash was watching.
A group of Clefairies were going around stealing random junk in Virdian City to repair their spaceship during EP062. These Clefairies made another brief appearance in EP246.
In EP158, 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
A rude, crass, male Clefairy is the co-star of the Pocket Monsters manga.
In Pokémon Special, Blue had a Clefairy that later evolved into Clefable.
In the Electric Tale of Pikachu, one of the chapters focuses on Clefairy running wild through a city. It was an adaptation of EP062.
