Clefable is tall, pink Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped body. It has long, pointed ears with dark brown tips and black, oval eyes with wrinkles on either side. A curled lock of fur hangs over its forehead, much like its long, tightly curled tail. There are dark pink wings on its back, and each wing has three points. Its hands have three fingers each, and its feet have two clawed toes and dark pink soles.
Clefable is a timid creature that flees when it senses people approaching, and is one of the world's rarest Pokémon. Its sensitive ears can distinctly hear a pin drop from half a mile away. Because of its acute hearing, it prefers to live in quiet, mountainous areas of which it is protective. Using a bouncy gait, it is able to walk on water and sometimes appears to be flying using its small wings.
In the anime
Major appearances
Clefable in the anime
Clefable first appeared in Clefairy and the Moon Stone. After the large group of Clefairy blasted Team Rocket away with Metronome, particles of the giant Moon Stone landed on some of the Clefairy, causing them to evolve.
Clefable made an appearance for another Mt. Moon Festival in A Real Cleffa-Hanger.
Minor appearances
Clefable was also in a stage show about talking Pokémon for Stage Fight!.
In Pokémon Adventures, Green had a Clefairy named Clefy which first appeared in A Little Kadabra'll Do It that later evolved into Clefable in The Winged Legends when Red used his Moon Stone on it. Although it was used only once for distraction against Sabrina prior to evolving, its increased power allowed it to stall Thu-Fi-Zer for a short time with its Metronome. It has since been used as a main member of her team in Green's battle against Lorelei, where it minimized itself to retrieve her miniature ice sculptures, deliberately blowing off the arm part to let the Elite Four's guard down. It has seen no major appearances since, despite always being listed as a team member.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga, Red's Clefairy can evolve into Clefable, although it has since devolved back to the Clefairy stage, as Pokémon can reverse the evolution process. Clefairy first evolves into Clefable in Clefairy Evolves... At Last?!.
Whitney has a Clefable which is Clefairy's childhood friend.
Clefable moves by skipping lightly as if it were flying using its wings. Its bouncy step lets it even walk on water. It is known to take strolls on lakes on quiet, moonlit nights.

It seems to be based on fairies and pixies, being a magical, humanoid, playful creature with wings.
Name origin
Clefable is a combination of clef (musical key) and fable. It may also be derived from able, considering its sharp hearing and ability to lightly skip on water.
