Biology
Physiology
Clefable is a bit larger than its pre-evolutions. Its wings are also larger, though they still seem incapable of flight.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Clefable are most known for using Metronome in order to execute a random attack. Just like its pre-evolved forms, Clefable is very versatile whether it knows Metronome or not.
In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga, Clefable are depicted as having the ability to fly using their wings, although they have never been seen doing so anywhere else.
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 its pre-evolutions. They can be found at Mt. Moon, or in other mountains that offer clear views of the moon at night.
Diet

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 was also in a stage show about talking Pokémon for Stage Fight.
Clefable made an appearance for another Mt. Moon Festival in A Real Cleffa-Hanger.
In the manga
In Pokémon Special, Blue had a Clefairy that later evolved into Clefable.
In the Electric Tale of Pikachu, Ash befriends a Clefairy that evolves into a Clefable so it can explore the world.
