Clefable (Japanese: ピクシー Pixy) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Clefable are most known for using Metronome in order to execute a random attack. Just like it's pre-evolved forms, Clefable is very versatile whether it knows Metronome, or not.

Behavior

Clefable are extremely shy (even moreso than Clefairy or Cleffa). As such, they are quite reclusive.

Habitat

Clefable is just as rare in the wild as it's pre-evolutions. They can be found (with luck) at Mt. Moon.

Diet

In the anime

Clefable first appeared in EP006. 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 was also in a stage show about talking Pokémon for EP090.

Clefable made an appearance for another Mt. Moon Festival in AG134.

Trivia

"Ariala" was the proto-type name of Clefable.

Origin

It seems to be based on fairies and pixes, being a magical, humanoid, playful, winged creature.

Name origin

Clefable's name is a combination of clef, French for (musical) key, and "fable" — a story about legendary persons and deeds. Its Japanese name refers to pixies, creatures similar to fairies. Clefable's French name appears to be a corruption of melody and possibly elf.
