Clefable (Japanese: ピクシー Pixy) is a Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation VI, it was a Normal-type Pokémon.

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

Biology

Clefable is a 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 long, tightly curled tail. On its back is a pair of dark pink wings; each wing has three points. Its hands have three fingers each, and its feet have two clawed toes and dark pink soles.

Clefable is a timid, nocturnal 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 to 1,100 yards away. Because of its acute hearing, it prefers to live in quiet, mountainous areas of which it is protective. It has also been seen at deserted lakes during a full moon. Using a bouncy gait, it can walk on water and sometimes appears to be flying using its small wings. The anime has shown that Clefable is actually an extraterrestrial Pokémon. According to one tradition, seeing a pair of Clefable ensures a happy marriage. Some scientists believe that Clefable stares intently at the moon because it is homesick. There is a legend to this as well, which tells of how it listens for the voices of its kind on the moon during clear and quiet nights. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Clefable is known to sleep in remote places during quiet, moonlit nights. It is theorized that Clefable is dreaming about its friends and distant homeland during its peaceful slumber[1].

Before Generation V, Clefable and its pre-evolved forms were the only known Pokémon that could have Magic Guard as an Ability.

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Lusamine's Clefable

Green had a Clefairy nicknamed Clefy, which first appeared in A Little Kadabra'll Do It. He later evolved into Clefable in The Winged Legends when Red used his Moon Stone on him. Although he was used only once for distraction against Sabrina prior to evolving, his increased power allowed him to stall Thu-Fi-Zer for a short time with his Metronome. He has since been used as a main member of her team in Green's battle against Lorelei. During the battle, he minimized himself to retrieve her miniature ice sculptures, deliberately blowing off the arm part to let the Elite Four's guard down. He 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 participate in the fight in Ilex Forest.

A Clefable appeared in Deprogramming Porygon-Z, under the ownership of an Idol.

Trivia

  • The prototype name for Clefable was Ariala. The Russian dub of the anime used this name during the original series.
  • In the Polish dub of the episode Clefairy and the Moon Stone, Clefable is called "Kliferyla".
  • Clefable and its pre-evolved form share their category with Snubbull and Granbull. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
    • The "Fairy Pokémon" category predates the introduction of the Fairy-type in Generation VI. From this generation onwards, the type and category of these four Pokémon share the same English name. However, this is not true in Japanese, where the type is フェアリータイプ Fairy-type and the category is ようせいポケモン Yōsei Pokémon.

Origin

Clefable seems to be based on fairies and pixies since it is a playful, magical, humanoid creature with wings. It may also be inspired by the concept of extraterrestrial life due to its rumored celestial origins and vaguely star-shaped body. It may also reference the mythical Moon rabbit due to its large ears, various Moon related powers, and the fact that it evolves from Clefairy using a Moon Stone.

Name origin

Clefable may be a combination of clef (musical symbol) and fable.

Pixy may be derived from pixie.
