They appear to be very protective of their own world. It is a kind of fairy, rarely seen by people.

Clefable Guide
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, Don't let Clefable's 483 base stat total fool you. Magic Guard is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier. Moonblast with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, Run Magic Guard on Clefable. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Clefable also gets Cute Charm and Unaware, but they don't compare.
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, Clefable fills the balanced role. It's a special attacker with base 95 Sp. Atk. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, Unaware is the hidden ability. It ignores other Pokémon's stat modifiers for damage and accuracy calculation. Worth hunting for if you want Clefable to compete at a higher level.
