Biological characteristics

Clefable’s appearance is rather similar to Clefairy’s. It is larger than its pre-evolved form, with prominent ears and a pair of jagged wings on its back. Its feet have two claws each. Clefable inhabit remote mountainous areas and generally any environment that has sufficiently little ambient noise. Clefable’s hearing is extremely sensitive - it is said that it can discern the sound of a pin falling 1,100 yards away, so it is averse to living in areas with sound pollution (compare with Whismur).

Clefable are also extremely timid, and rarely seen in the wild. They avoid all contact with outsiders. Even sensing the presence of others in the area (which is fairly easy thanks to their prodigious hearing) will cause it to run and hide immediately. They will, however, come into the open on quiet, moonlit nights to take a stroll on a lake.


Clefable’s wings are probably not fit for real flight, but they allow it to move in a skipping, bouncy manner as if it were walking on the moon’s surface. They can even walk across the water’s surface this way, so when it takes the aforementioned stroll on the lake, it literally takes a stroll on the lake. Clefable’s wings, its hovering walk, its timidity and elusiveness have led them to be categorized as a type of fairy in the Pokémon world. Flight is the process by which an object achieves sustained movement either through the air by aerodynamically generating lift or aerostatically using buoyancy, or movement beyond earths atmosphere, in the case of spaceflight. ...

In the video games

Clefable are not available in the wild. They are only obtainable by evolving a Clefairy with the use of the Moon Stone item. This means that the availability of Clefable is based on the availability of Clefairy. Since the moment of a Clefairy’s evolution into a Clefable is entirely in the control of the player, it must be chosen carefully, since Clefable cannot naturally learn any more attacks.

Clefable is an interesting pokemon to use in battle. Its' stats aren't brilliant, but not bad either - its' fairly "average". Its' special attack and special defense are above average, and its' HP is very good, but its' attack and defense are just below average, and its' speed is low. It learns a wide variety of attacks, both physical and special, such as flamethrower, ice beam, thunderbolt, shadow ball, and brick break. It can learn calm mind to boost its' special attack and special defense further, as well as moonlight to restore HP. Clefable can also learn softboiled, which only a few other pokemon can learn, such as Blissey and Mew. Also, Clefairy and Clefable are the only Pokémon besides Metang and Metagross capable of using Meteor Mash.


A strong addition to Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable in Diamond and Pearl is the ability Magic Guard. Magic Guard prevents most damage done to Clefable except for attacking moves. This can prevent damage from damaging held items, allowing Clefable to have only the benefits.
