With the selection of Choice Specs Dragalge as our second pokemon, it looks as if we're shooting for a balanced team, the sort of team that Clefable fits very well onto. I am nominating
Physically Defensive Unaware Clefable with Thunder Wave for our third team member, as I think it has the best synergy with SD Mega Absol and Specs Dragalge. Thunder Wave gives us a soft check to most setup sweepers in OU, and it also slows down common Clefable checks, such as Gengar and Heatran down for Dragalge to nuke. I went with the standard physically defensive spread, as it shuts down the greatest number of pokemon, and at present, our team does not seem like it will be overly Thundurus or Keldeo weak, and at the end, if it's excessively weak to Landorus, there's always the option of running Ice Beam on Mega Absol. While using Thunder Wave over Aromatherapy make Clefable less effective against stall, Mega Absol's Knock Off + Magic Bounce and Specs Dragalge's nuking capabilities ensure that we'll have a decent matchup. Clefable could run Magic Guard instead, but as Mega Absol is extremely frail, and Dragalge is very slow, Unaware seems like the stronger ability, as it reduces the number of pokemon and sets that can threaten to sweep us.
