How to use Clefable in the current VGC format

Clefable is listed as a Fairy type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Clefable fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Unaware, Sitrus Berry and Calm 32/0/32/0/2/0. Its frequent moves include Follow Me, Moonblast, Protect, Helping Hand, Life Dew, and Icy Wind. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Clefable has important weaknesses to poison 2x, steel 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as sneasler, kingambit, delphox-mega, garchomp, and basculegion-male appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.

MetaVGC tracks recent teams using Clefable. Open the Clefable teams page to compare complete structures, copy Showdown pastes and see how players combine Clefable with other Pokémon in the active format.
