Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Clefairy's spread. It leans mixed with HP out front. And you'll get 2 HP EVs per KO for it. Follows a fast 800K XP curve.
It can be found in quiet mountain areas on a full moon’s night. Its dancing and its tiny, faintly glowing wings confer upon it a lovely fairylike quality.
