Cleffa, the adorable Baby Fairy Pokémon, makes its return in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. However, tracking one down can be challenging, as this shy creature prefers solitude and avoids mingling with other species in the Wild Areas. Cleffa evolves into Clefairy and subsequently into Clefable, which can further evolve into one of the new forms featured in this game: Mega Clefable.
For players seeking to create an effective counter for Dragon-type Pokémon within their teams, Cleffa is a solid choice. This guide will help you catch and develop this little gem into a formidable ally. Let’s dive in!
Locating Cleffa in Pokémon Legends Z-A
Cleffa can be spotted during Clear Sky (Sunny Days) on the rooftops of Rouge Sector 5, specifically on the top of the Looker Bureau. The accompanying map highlights the precise areas where players can find this tiny Pokémon, which appears at levels 11 to 13, allowing for an early catch in the adventure.
All three stages of Cleffa’s evolution are Fairy-types, but once Clefable evolves into Mega Clefable, it changes to Fairy/Flying, gaining an additional type that grants immunity to Ground-type attacks.
Evolving Cleffa in Pokémon Legends Z-A
Though Cleffa is a charming little Fairy-type, players need to evolve it into Clefairy to maximize its combat potential. Here’s how to evolve Cleffa into Clefairy:
- Place Cleffa in the active slot of your Party.
- Visit a Café or Tea Shop and order tea (preferably Roserade Tea).
- Wait a moment, then press B to stop drinking tea with Cleffa.
- Open the menu and check your party; a white arrow should appear over Cleffa. If it doesn’t, repeat step 3.
- Evolve Cleffa into Clefairy.
Remember, Clefairy is not the ultimate form of this Pokémon. To evolve Clefairy into Clefable, acquire a Moon Stone from the Stone Emporium and follow these steps:
- Open the menu and access the Satchel.
- Navigate to the fourth tab and scroll down to find the Moon Stone.
- Select the Moon Stone; a green tab with a tick should appear under Clefairy, confirming its compatibility with the Evolution Stone.
- Use the Moon Stone on Clefairy to initiate its evolution into Clefable.
Clefable boasts a total of 483 Base Stats, distributed as follows:
- HP: 95
- Attack: 70
- Defense: 73
- Special Attack: 95
- Special Defense: 90
- Speed: 60
Notably, while Clefable’s total BST may not be extraordinary, it can be trained to effectively counter Dragon-type Pokémon, which are prevalent in every generation. With threats like Mega Ampharos, Mega Drampa, and Mega Dragonite appearing in the later stages of Pokémon Legends Z-A, it is essential to include a strong Fairy-type in your lineup. Additionally, Clefable can Mega Evolve using Clefablite, obtainable from Quasartico’s Mega Shard exchange for 240 Mega shards, though this becomes accessible later in the game.
