Card 076

Clefairy, the Fairy Pokémon, is a beloved and iconic creature first introduced in Generation I. Known for its shy yet endearing nature, Clefairy is often associated with the moon and extraterrestrial origins, with many Pokédex entries describing its descent from space on meteor showers. Its natural habitat is typically mountainous regions, especially those with clear night skies where it can dance under the full moon. Clefairy’s diet is primarily composed of dew and berries, and its behavior is characterized by its playful antics and tendency to gather in groups. It evolves from Cleffa when leveled up with high friendship, and then into Clefable when exposed to a Moon Stone. As a pure Fairy-type Pokémon, Clefairy has a strong type advantage against Fighting, Dragon, and Dark types, while being weak to Poison and Steel types. In the games, Clefairy is often found in early routes, becoming a staple for many trainers. In the anime, it gained significant cultural significance as the original choice for Ash’s first Pokémon, a role ultimately given to Pikachu. Its whimsical appearance and mystical lore have cemented Clefairy's place as a fan favorite and a symbol of the Pokémon franchise's magical elements.
