CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

To encounter Clefairy, the Pokédex account invites us to watch the mountains when the moon is full. Away from the bustle, its dances and the faint glow of its small wings form an almost unreal scene. Much of this discreet Pokémon's charm comes from this nocturnal appearance: a delicate presence that moonlight suddenly makes visible.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Clefairy swsh9-053 by Yukiko Baba uses Pound for 10 damage and Magical Shot for 30. On xy3-69, Naoyo Kimura instead provides an attack that heals 30 damage from Clefairy. In swsh9-053, that number belongs to the second offensive hit rather than healing the attacker.
