Clefable (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Clefable is tall, pink Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped body. It has long, pointed ears with dark brown tips and oval, black eyes with a wrinkle on either side. A curled lock of fur hangs over its face from the top of its head, and it has dark pink, three-pointed wings on its back. Its hands have three fingers each, and its feet have two clawed toes and dark pink soles. It has a long, tightly curled tail.

Clefable is a timid creature that flees when it senses people approaching, and is one of the world's rarest Pokémon. Its sensitive ears allow it to hear thing {{tt|half a mile|one kilometer}} away. Because of its acute hearing, it prefers to live in quiet, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas.}} Using a bouncy gait, it is able to walk on water and sometimes appears to be flying using its small wings.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Green}} had a {{p|Clefairy}} that later evolved into Clefable when {{adv|Red}} used his {{DL|Evolutionary stone|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 {{m|Metronome}}. It has since been used as a main member of her team in Green's battle against [[Lorelei]], where it {{m|minimize}}d itself to retrieve her miniature ice sculptures, deliberately blowing off the arm part to let the Elite Four's guard down. It has seen no major appearances since, despite always being listed as a team member.

* The [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|prototype name]] for Clefable was "Ariala".

Clefable is a combination of ''{{wp|clef}}'' (musical key) and ''{{wp|fable}}'' (a type of fictional story). It may also be derived from ''able'', considering its strange ability to 'walk' on water or its amazing hearing.
