Clefairy (Japanese:ピッピPippi) is aFairy-typePokémon introduced inGeneration I. Prior toGeneration VI, it was aNormal-type Pokémon.

Itevolves fromCleffa whenleveled up with high friendship and evolves intoClefable when exposed to aMoon Stone.

Biology

Clefairy is a bipedal, pinkPokémon 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 itsmountain 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 thePokémon the Series episodeClefairy Tales, Clefairy is depicted as anextraterrestrial Pokémon. Clefairy is known to be popular thanks to both its adorable look and behavior. As mentioned inPokémon Sleep, anyone who sees a Clefairy usingMetronome while sleeping will receive happiness. This sighting is considered to be a very unusual sight to witness.^[1]

BeforeGeneration V, Clefairy and its evolutionary relatives were theonly known Pokémon that could haveMagic Guard as anAbility.

NPC appearances

In the core series

• These notable Trainers all use Clefairy:
  • Whitney uses a Clefairy inPokémon Gold, Silver,Crystal,HeartGold, and SoulSilver. This Clefairy is replaced by aClefable in herFighting Dojo rematch in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
  • The player'sfriend,Dawn orLucas, has a Clefairy in aDouble Battle againstTeam Galactic during the events ofPokémon Diamond, Pearl,Platinum,Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl. In post-game rematches inGeneration VIII, this Clefairy is seen to have evolved into a Clefable.
  • Lillie is affiliated with the Pokémon Clefairy sincePokémon Sun and Moon. She would not use one untilPokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon'sEpisode RR storyline. Clefairy parallels the use ofLusamine's ownClefable.
  • The player'sfriend inPokémon Legends: Arceus,Rei orAkari, uses a Clefairy in some battles against the player after theDaybreak update. It is seen as a parallel toLucas/Dawn's as an NPC.
• ThePoké Doll item is directly based on Clefairy, with it's Japanese name beingピッピにんぎょうPippi Doll. ThePokéshi Doll fromPokémon Legends: Arceus is based on this item, and also resembles a Clefairy.
• In theJohto-based games, Clefairy will appear atMt. Moon Square everyMonday night, dancing under the fullmoon.
• InRequest 67: The Clefairy's Moonlit Dance inPokémon Legends: Arceus, theplayer is tasked with researching theFabled Spring in theCoronet Highlands during a full moon, in which they will be met with a group of Clefairy dancing, similar to Mt. Moon Square.

In spin-off games

• Pokémon Stadium: Clefairy stars in the mini-game "Clefairy Says." Players are given a pattern of arrows to repeat back. Each time the player messes up, they will receive a strike. After five strikes, the player is out. The last Clefairy standing wins.
