'''Clefairy''' is a mysterious fairy Pokémon introduced in the first generation games.

=Information=

Clefairy is a rare Pokémon only found in certain areas that had many admirers due to being considered cute and magical. They appear more commonly during times of the full moon. Clefairy also store moonlight in the small wings on their backs, which allows them to float in the air. Full groups of them come out to play during full moons, and when dawn comes they return to their quiet mountain retreats, where they sleep nestled against each other. It is said that happiness comes to those who see them dancing in the moonlight..

Because of their connections to the moon, the Clefairy are rumored to be extraterrestrial creatures hailing from the moon, particularly when it was observed that Clefairy started appearing at Mt. Moon in Kanto shortly after the Moon Stone landed there. Exposure to a Moon Stone also causes Clefairy to evolve into [[Clefable]]. Although Clefairy was believed to be the first of its line, during the second generation it was discovered that Clefairy actually evolved from a baby form known as [[Cleffa]].

=Other Appearances=

==Video Games==

*Clefairy appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', as one of the Pokémon that could be summoned at random from the [[Poké Ball]] item. It uses the Metronome attack to set off a random effect on the stage. It was left out of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' in favor of [[Togepi]] performing Metronome instead. Clefairy has also been represented by a trophy in ''Melee'' and a Novice-rank Primary [[Spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. When fought against in a Spirit battle, Clefairy's Spirit would possess [[Jigglypuff]] in a battle where the screen will occasionally flip.

==Other Media==

*Clefairy was featured in an early episode of the Pokémon anime set at Mt. Moon where Ash wound up protecting a group of them from [[Team Rocket]]. Clefairy was apparently originally intended to be Ash's starter Pokémon in an early version of the pilot episode. They've made several appearances since, including one episode that confirmed them as aliens and featured them stealing objects to repair their spaceship, winding up getting into conflicts with Ash and friends as well as [[Jigglypuff]].
*In Pokémon Adventures, Clefairy was one of Green's Pokémon and eventually evolved into a Clefable with Red's Moon Stone.

=Trivia=

*Clefairy was originally intended to act as the mascot of the Pokémon franchise, but it was eventually decided that [[Pikachu]] would fill that position instead as it turned out to be more popular. Only the ''Pocket Monsters'' manga wound up featuring Clefairy instead of Pikachu as the prominent Pokémon.
*Clefairy's name is a combination of the musical term "clef" with "fairy".
