Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Clefairy's spread. It leans mixed with HP out front. And you'll get 2 HP stat exp per KO for it. Follows a fast 800K XP curve.
Adored for their cute looks and playfulness. They are thought to be rare, as they do not appear often.
Clefairy Weakness
Clefairy's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. Clefairy's Normal typing only leaves 1 gap to cover.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Only 15 types exist — Dark, Steel, and Fairy are absent
- Ghost has no effect on Psychic (a known bug, fixed in Gen II)
- Special stat governs both offense and defense — no Sp.Atk / Sp.Def split
