Clefairy is a bipedal, pink Pokémon with a chubby, vaguely star-shaped body. Its mouth has a small, pointed tooth protruding from the upper left corner. It has a wrinkle on either side of its black, oval eyes, dark pink, oval markings on its cheeks, and large, pointed ears with brown tips. A tuft of fur on its forehead curls down over its face, and its longer tail is also tightly curled. There are small wings on its back, which are incapable of flight. However, it can store moonlight in them, which allows them to float. Its stocky arms have three digits on each hand, two these digits appear to have short claws. Each of its feet has a single clawed toe.
Clefairy is very shy and rarely shows itself to humans. On the rare occasions it does come down from its mountain home, it can be seen dancing in the moonlight. Once the sun starts to rise, it returns home where it sleeps nestled with others of its kind. The anime has shown that Clefairy is actually an extraterrestrial Pokémon.
A group of Clefairy were going around stealing random junk in Viridian City to repair their spaceship during Clefairy Tales. Their leader got beaten up by Jigglypuff for stealing its microphone/pen. These Clefairy made another brief appearance in Wish Upon a Star Shape.
The second chapter to feature Clefairy is Clefairy in Space, the tenth chapter of the manga. In this chapter, a herd of wild Clefairy are causing trouble in Apple City, where rumors are circulating that Clefairy come from outer space. This chapter was based on the anime episode Clefairy Tales. In this chapter, it is learned that Clefairy have a secretion from the back of their throat that can harden into a crystal-like form.
Clefairy in Pokémon Pocket Monsters
In Magical Pokémon Journey and Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪
One of Hazel's main traveling companions in the Magical Pokémon Journey manga is a timid, shy Clefairy. Clefairy tends to be very cowardly, but when he actually does battle, he can use his powerful Metronome attack.
Green had a Clefairy that later evolved into Clefable 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 period of time with its Metronome. Daisy Oak also has a Clefairy used in Contests when she was younger.
Clefairy is one of the main characters in the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga and is Red's starter Pokémon. Clefairy is often very rude and stupid, gaining him the nickname "Blockhead Clefairy". He is the source of much slapstick humor in the manga.
Blaine has multiple Clefairy which were used as a punishment when Red's Clefairy got the final question to the quiz wrong of the Pokémon Quiz Battle.
Clefairy also uses Metronome but uses its own series of attacks such as Blizzard, Explosion, or Fire Spin. All will hurt any opponents close to Clefairy.
Trophy information

Strangely enough, legend has it that Clefairy are more active during the full moon. These Pokémon are known to use Metronome, a move that unleashes a randomly selected technique.

The Glitch Pokémon3TrainerPoké $ will evolve into a Clefairy at level 128, a level unattainable by legitimate and unglitched Pokémon. These Clefairy can then evolve into Clefable via Moon Stone, making them some of the few Glitch Pokémon to undergo two evolutions.
The Glitch Pokémon ゥL ゥM 4 also evolves into Clefairy at level 18, and can then evolve into Nidoking immediately afterwards.
Clefairy was originally going to be the official mascot of Pokémon, but Pikachu was used instead due to the popularity of the anime and Pikachu's familiarity with fans.[1][2]
In the original pilot episode of the anime, 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 Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga, which would later be referenced in Lights, Camerupt, Action!, where its main character, Red, along with his Clefairy and Pikachu appeared in a film that Ash and his friends were watching.
Clefairy is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 323.
