Clefairy (Japanese: ピッピ Pippi) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
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.
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
Clefairy are elusive Pokémon in the wild. The best place to find them is a Mt. Moon, especially at a night during a full moon. Wherever they live, they are likely to be in an area where the moon is clear and visible at night.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
In the games
- Pokémon Stadium: Clefairy stars in the mini-game "Clefairy Says." Players are given a pattern of arrows to repeat back. Guess wrong too many times and you're out. The last one standing wins.
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. Their leader got beaten up by Jigglypuff for stealing its microphone/pen. 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.
Other appearances
When released from a Pokéball, Clefairy will use Metronome triggering Blizzard, Explosion, or Fire Spin. All will hurt any opponents close to Clefairy.

Evolution
Trivia
- The prototype name for Clefairy was "Aria".
- The glitch Pokémon LM4 will evolve into Clefairy at level 18.
Origin
It seems to be based on a fairy, being a magical, somewhat humanoid, winged creature, lending credit to its name.
Name origin
Clefairy's name is a combination of clef, French for (musical) key, and fairy. Its Japanese name may be a shortening and repetition of the word pixie. Its French name is a misspelling of melody.

- French: Melofee - Mélodie means melody, and fée means fairy.
