Clefairy (Japanese: ピッピ Pippi), also known as Blockhead Clefairy (Japanese: 鈍間のピッピ Blockhead Pippi) by other Pokémon, is Red's first Pokémon and Pikachu's cousin in the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga, and related manga series. Along with Pikachu, he is one of Red's closest Pokémon, albeit also an annoyance to him and the rest of his team.
History
Kanto
Clefairy debuted in the first chapter where he was a wild Pokémon living in a field. Red, racing to get to Professor Oak's lab before his rival Green does, decides to take this field as a shortcut where he finds a wild Nidoran♂ and the Clefairy who attempt to attack him. Clefairy drops some coconuts on Red from a tree above, only to shortly fall off and drop onto the Nidoran♂, knocking him out. Red thanks Clefairy for the help and continues to run for the lab, finding that Green had already made it there. While the three discuss about Professor Oak's favor of completing the Pokédex, Clefairy bursts into the lab and is yelled at by the professor. When given the choice of which starter Pokémon he wants, Red decides to take Clefairy with him, which thrills the Pokémon greatly. Green is however skeptical that Red can be a successful Trainer with a Clefairy, and has his chosen starter Pokémon Charmander attack the Clefairy, setting his tail on fire and causing the Pokémon to run around frantically, which sets the entire lab on fire and enrages Professor Oak.
Red attempts to challenge the Gym Leader Brock in a battle, but Clefairy flees after seeing his Onix shortly after witnessing Green and his Charmander being thrown out the Gym, which forces Red to drag Clefairy back. Inside, the two learn of Brock's Pokémon collection, and find out that Clefairy's cousin Pikachu is also a part of it. This angers Clefairy and gives him the courage to fight Brock's Onix in a battle, which Clefairy prolongs by using an assortment of tricks. Clefairy later manages to defeat Onix by drawing his picture onto its tail, causing Onix to chase its tail until it becomes dizzy, and becomes knocked out after Clefairy smashes a fallen pillar on its head. By winning the battle, Clefairy's cousin is freed from Brock's collection and joins Red's team.
Clefairy evolved into a Clefable in Clefairy Evolves... At Last?!, but had later devolved back into a Clefairy in the same chapter.
When Giovanni launched the second missile, Clefairy launched one of his own and clashed with Giovanni's. As Clefairy was on the missile, it ended up blasting him away, which saddened Red.
Johto
After the second missile launch, when Red and Pikachu went to Johto, it was revealed that he survived the impact and took a Marill with him in a bag.
Hoenn
Clefairy was challenged by Professor Birch to various contests in which he lost in them all.
Sinnoh
Clefairy traveled in the Sinnoh region where he met Kazuki and trained with him.
HGSS saga
During his return to Johto, Red chooses him, Pikachu and Tyrogue as his Pokémon for the Pokéathlon. Later, he challenges a Giratina and when he slowly chose his moves as he did not know which ones to use, it led to Giratina laughing at him.
Unova
Clefairy traveled to the Unova region with Red and Pikachu after leaving behind Tyrogue.
Personality and characteristics
Clefairy is often an unintelligent, lazy, loudmouthed, crass, vulgar, and generally rude Pokémon. He is typically selfish, often thinking about himself instead of others, and is also cowardly, preferring to win battles through the use of trickery, luck or other unconventional means. More often though he will try to flee and hide, sometimes even going as far as to disguise himself, to avoid battling others, especially against Pokémon who are by far larger and stronger than he.
Clefairy does occasionally show some redeeming qualities, but he is usually a mischief maker most of the time. His manners and stupidity are often an annoyance to Red and the rest of his Pokémon team, and is also especially a major cause in fights between Pikachu and Tyrogue, who are both smarter, more well-behaved and otherwise more capable than Clefairy.
His mannerisms are also well known among Pokémon across entire regions, who typically refer to Clefairy as "that blockhead Clefairy". Rather than taking offense to this, Clefairy falsely believes it to be a compliment with the idea that he is "famous" among Pokémon. Also, Clefairy would not care if he gets caught for doing something bad despite the consequences being severe everytime.

In the anime
Clefairy appeared along with Red and Pikachu in the anime episode Lights, Camerupt, Action!. The three characters appeared in one of Ash's favorite films. The movie showed Red, Pikachu, and Clefairy walking a road together, when Clefairy complains that he's hungry, even though Red says he just ate. He then smells out a delicious sandwich, which a Teddiursa is holding, and eats it himself, making the Teddiursa cry. Teddiursa's mother, an Ursaring, then appears, angry at Clefairy for making her child cry, and sends Clefairy flying.

Trivia
- Clefairy and Pikachu are stated to be cousins. This is actually possible according to video game canon as Clefairy and Pikachu both belong to the Fairy Egg Group. However, this was not known when the manga was originally published, as Pokémon Gold and Silver had not been released yet.
