Clefable (Japanese: ピクシー Pixy) is a Fairy-type Pokémon, and prior to Generation VI, a Normal-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Clefairy when exposed to a Moon Stone. It is the final form of Cleffa.

Biology

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 large, upward-curling tail. It has dark pink, three-pointed wings on its back. Its hands have three fingers each, and its feet have two clawed toes and dark pink soles. It has a long, tightly curled tail.

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 they are 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!.

A Clefable appeared in Beauty and the Breeder, where it participated in a Pokémon breeding competition.

A Clefable was briefly seen alongside a Raichu in Deceit and Assist.

A Clefable owned by a Coordinator competing in the Mulberry Contest appeared in New Plot, Odd Lot!.

Pokédex entries

In the manga

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Ash, Professor Oak, and Bill befriend a group of Clefairy living on Mt. Moon in Clefairy Tale. They witness an evolution ceremony where many of the Clefairy in the group evolve into Clefable using a Moon Stone and then leave to explore the world.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Clefable in Pokémon Adventures

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.

A Clefable appeared in The Last Battle XIII as one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in Ilex Forest.

In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga

Main article: Red's Clefairy

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.

Trivia

• The prototype name for Clefable was Ariala.
• Clefable weighs the same as Ethan. It shares this trait with Latias, Gurdurr, and Greninja.
• Clefable and its pre-evolution share their species name with Snubbull and Granbull. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.

Origin

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.

Pixy is a corruption of pixie.
