Clefairy (ピッピ, Pippi) is a creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
Origin[edit]
Clefairy is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #035 as the "Fairy Pokémon". It evolves into Clefable using a Moon Stone, and evolves from Cleffa when its friendship is very high. Starting in Generation VI, it was changed into a Fairy-type.
Metronome is a non-damaging Normal-type move that allows the user randomly perform almost any move available. It is TM35 in |Generation I. As of Generation IV, Clefairy is one of the ten Pokémon that can naturally learn Metronome.
In Super Smash Bros.[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Clefairy makes its debut in the Super Smash Bros. series as one of the thirteen Poké Ball Pokémon that appear in Super Smash Bros. When summoned, Clefairy will use Metronome, an attack that allows it to use the special attack of a random Poké Ball Pokémon (Mew included). Clefairy will deal 12% to opponents that come into direct contact with it, regardless of what Pokémon it copied; it overrides the contact damage of Pokémon like Snorlax and Beedrill and deals damage even when copying Chansey, Goldeen, and Mew (who can't deal any damage themselves). Clefairy's attack will not harm the summoner. Its Japanese and English voice clips each come from the Pokémon episode Clefairy and the Moon Stone.
According to an interview with Masahiro Sakurai in the May 1999 issue of The 64 DREAM, both Clefairy and Jigglypuff were considered to be added to the game as a clone of Kirby, with Jigglypuff ultimately being chosen for the game.[1]
In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Clefairy reappears in Super Smash Bros. Melee, although Metronome has been modified to consist of four, random attacks:
- Gust: Any character caught in the whirlwind will take heavy amount of damage, but not enough to KO them. This can be SDI'd out of, allowing characters to escape or reduce damage taken.
- Fire Spin: This attack burns the ground around Clefairy, damaging any opponent caught in it. Like Gust, this can be SDI'd out of.
- Waterfall: This attack has high vertical knockback, large range, and hits many times, to the point that it can star KO a character.
- Self-Destruct: This attack is similar to Electrode's Explosion. Any character caught in the blast radius will take damage.
As in Smash 64, the summoner is immune to damage from Clefairy's attacks, including Self-Destruct. Its Japanese voice clip comes from a different part of Clefairy and the Moon Stone while its English voice clip is the same one used in Smash 64.
Trophy[edit]
Clefairy features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches.

Trivia[edit]
- If a down throw is used inside Clefairy's Gust, the moves will cancel each other out, although the player using down throw will be trapped in the gust indefinitely.
