It is the pre-evolution of Clefairy, evolving into it when leveled up with high friendship, and Clefairy then evolves into Clefable with a Moon Stone. Cleffa is known for its playful and energetic nature, often dancing under meteor showers, which is believed to bring good fortune. Its appearance is reminiscent of a five-pointed star, with a small curl on its head and tiny, expressive eyes. In the Pokémon games, Cleffa is often found in areas with clear night skies, such as Mt. Moon in later generations, and is a relatively rare encounter.

Its role in the games is primarily as a pre-evolution, often sought after by collectors and those aiming to complete their Pokédex, while in the anime, it frequently serves as a cute and endearing character that adds to the whimsical atmosphere.
