|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Only 15 types exist — Dark, Steel, and Fairy are absent

- Special stat governs both offense and defense — no Sp.Atk / Sp.Def split

How to Evolve
RB Clefairy Best Moveset
Can't match Clefable's 95 Special or the movepool depth that makes the evolved form a top pick. MoveThunder Wave still works from any stat line, but everything offensive hits too softly. Evolve for the stats that matter.

The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Clefairy's coverage across 7 types all comes from technical machines, built on top of Skull Bash and Double-Edge for same-type damage. Blizzard and Double-Edge are the payoff moves.
