Clefairy (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Fairy-type Pokémon that made its first appearance in the first generation games Red and Blue. It was originally a Normal-type Pokémon. It evolves from Cleffa with happiness and then into Clefable with a Moon Stone.
Physiology and Behaviour[]
Clefairy is a bipedal, pink Pokémon 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 its mountain 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 starts to rise, it returns home where it sleeps nestled with other Clefairy. The anime has shown that Clefairy is actually an extraterrestrial Pokémon. Clefairy is known to be popular thanks to both its adorable look and behavior. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, anyone who sees a Clefairy using Metronome while sleeping will receive happiness. This sighting is considered to be a very unusual sight to witness.

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.
Super Smash Bros. series[]
When released from a Poké Ball, Clefairy will use Metronome to copy another Pokémon's move randomly. It is only available in Pokéballs in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee. It appeared as a neutral-type Primary Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Trophy descriptions[]
Super Smash Bros. Melee (North American 1.00 and 1.01 versions): "Clefairy are very cute Pokémon, which makes them popular pets. However, as they're only found in a few areas, it takes a lot of work to find one. Strangely enough, legend has it that Clefairy are more active during the full moon. These Pokémon are known to use Metronome, a move that unleashes a randomly selected attack." ("unleashes randomly selected techniques." in 1.02 version, "unleashes a randomly selected technique." in EU)
