Clefable @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 196 Def / 60 Spe
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Soft-Boiled
- Thunder / Flamethrower
The inevitable truth that is Calm Mind Clefable will give you fits! This dangerous sweeper can slowly truck through teams with its good all-around bulk, excellent coverage, and Magic Guard, which lets it outlast foes, set up against passive Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Slowking, and ignore Life Orb recoil. Thunder is the preferred coverage option for hitting Toxapex super effectively and denting Heatran, providing a nasty paralysis chance; however, Flamethrower hits Steel-types like Ferrothorn, Aegislash, and Melmetal. The Speed investment lets Clefable outpace Corviknight, not letting it use U-turn for free. Toxapex and Slowbro are valuable teammates, as they can switch into Melmetal, which forces Clefable out if it has not been properly chipped. Heatran threatens Clefable with Magma Storm and Taunt and can shrug off its attacks; accordingly, switch-ins like Garchomp and Air Balloon Heatran are valuable. Ferrothorn is an excellent teammate because it can wear down Heatran and Melmetal with Spikes, Knock Off, and Leech Seed.
