Answer 1

Wish Support Clefable

Gen 9 OU
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Moonblast
- Wish
- Protect
- Knock Off

A Wish support Clefable set that you can slap on to a decent amount of teams. This pairs extremely well with mons like Ting-Lu or Extreme Speed Dragonite, which can support Clefable with Earthquake and especially appreciate Wish support. Leftovers for passive recovery. Magic Guard keeps Clefable from being Toxic-stalled, stopped from switching by hazards, and helps against Garganacl.

Moonblast is STAB that helps in the matchup against the many Dragon, Dark, and Fighting Mons in the Metagame. Wish is for recovery and to pass on teammates to help their longevity. Protect allows Clefable to safely receive Wish and to scout possible Choice item opponents. Knock Off is for item removal.

Tera Water removes Clefable’s Steel weakness and allows Clefable to wall Toxapex.

Answer 2

Gen 6 OU singles

Surprise

Clefable @ toxic orb/sitrus berry
Ability: magic guard
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 6 Def
Nature: Adamant/Impish (adamant preferred)
- Facade
- Belly drum
- Fire punch/dig ( coverage)
- Moonlight (healing)

This monster of a Clefable is very good at sweeping teams with various screen setters as teammates such as mew. Let me explain how this set works. First you want to set light screen and reflect with your screen setter, then you want to switch in to Clefable, as you switched to Clefable you want to use belly drum first, and if you want to use moonlight for healing (if chosen toxic orb). And then sweep with facade. Occasionally you want torus’s fire punch or dig if you run into steel/poison types

Comments

Why on earth would you want an offensive Clefable with no boosting moves? And a mixed clefable at that?

---

Yeah. The EVs suck too. Your damaging moves would do nothing because of its mediocre attack stats.

---

METEOR MASH? WHAT

---

No no. This set is genius. You'll catch your lower ladder opponents off guard ecks dee

Beastmaster yes that was the idea
