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.

The inevitable truth that is Calm Mind Clefable will give you fits! Calm Mind turns Clefable into a dangerous bulky sweeper that is capable of slowly trucking through teams with its excellent good all-around bulk and coverage, "excellent" is overselling clefable's bulk, it's good but it can get overwhelmed quickly all while Magic Guard keeps it nice and healthy and prevent Life Orb recoil should make a brief mention about how magic guard gives it free setup opportunities vs passive pokemon + outlast its checks by not caring about passive damage while its checks do. Thunder is the preferred coverage option for hitting Toxapex super effectively and denting Heatran; mention its decent chance to paralyse making it easier for it to overwhelm heatran however, Flamethrower can be valuable for hitting Steel-types like Ferrothorn, Kartana, Aegislash, and Melmetal hard. kartana is already gets 2hko'd by moonblast so i don't think this is a necessary mention The given Speed investment lets Clefable outpace Corviknight to threaten it with Thunder or Flamethrower, not letting it 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 is a big threat to Calm Mind Clefable and can shrug off its attacks, accordingly, switch-ins like Landorus-T, Garchomp, and Air Balloon Heatran are valuable teammates. Entry hazards help wear down opposing walls roadblocks like Toxapex and Heatran, toxapex isn't a check to thunder clef at all and vs flamethrower clef, hazards don't help because it can just heal off the hazard damage unlike heatran, i'd mention melmetal here instead so setters like Ferrothorn are incredibly helpful in facilitating a Clefable sweep. i'd make another sentence on how clefable heavily appreciates ferro, mainly how knock off and leech seed can wear down stuff that clef struggles with alongside spikes
lmk when you've implemented everything and i'll take another look

The inevitable truth that is Calm Mind Clefable will give you fits! Calm Mind turns Clefable into a dangerous bulky sweeper that is capable of slowly trucking through teams with its good all-around bulk and coverage. Thunder is the preferred coverage option for hitting Toxapex super effectively and denting Heatran, providing a nasty paralysis chance; however, Flamethrower can be run to hit Steel-types like Ferrothorn, Aegislash, and Melmetal. The given Speed investment lets Clefable outpace Corviknight, not letting it U-turn for free. Magic Guard lets Clefable outlast its opponents while affording it setup opportunities against passive foes like Ferrothorn and Slowking and preventing Life Orb recoil. move this to the top where you talk about clefable's qualities, maybe like "coverage, and Magic Guard which prevents life orb recoil + take advantage of x, y, and z" Toxapex and Slowbro are valuable teammates, as they can switch into Melmetal, which forces Clefable out if it has not been properly chipped. Heatran is a big threat to Calm Mind Clefable and can shrug off its attacks; accordingly, switch-ins like Landorus-T, Garchomp, and Air Balloon Heatran are valuable teammates. landorus-t is not at all a switch in and if heatran is air balloon, landorus-t doesn't really check reliably Ferrothorn is an excellent teammate because it can wear down the aforementioned checks with Spikes and can bait in and chip Heatran with Knock Off and Leech Seed.
much better, good job! qc 1/1
