Clefable isn't gimmicky IMO when using standard sets, especially in UU. Although, it does carry a lot of potential for gimmicky sets, but, I don't think the Pokemon itself is really gimmicky.
Spinda is a master of gimmicks with its craptastic base stats but great movepool. When people try setting up (via Dragon Dance or something) against Spinda (probably not knowing what it's going to do) and you use Encore or Trick, haha, awesome. Its sprite is a gimmick too...
