Clefairy



Clefairy

Overview
########

Clefairy is a Follow Me user that unsurprisingly functions similarly to Clefable which has a better offensive presence and a wider array of item options. However, Clefairy possesses Friend Guard and an item that probably won't lead to conflict with the Item Clause. While Clefairy might be humongous Taunt bait, Friend Guard's defensive boost gives Clefairy a huge edge over other Follow Me users.


Follow Me
########
name: Follow Me
move 1: Follow Me
move 2: Helping Hand
move 3: Moonblast / Icy Wind
move 4: Protect
ability: Friend Guard
item: Eviolite
evs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 20 SpA / 60 SpD / 4 Spe
nature: Bold

Moves
========

Follow Me lets Clefairy redirect and tank hits for its partner. Helping Hand lets Clefairy boost its partner's offenses and makes up somewhat for its bad offenses. Moonblast is Clefairy's strongest and most reliable attack, while Icy Wind is a much weaker attack that provides speed control. Protect shields Clefairy for a turn.

Set Details
========

Friend Guard is the main reason to use Clefairy over Clefable or Togekiss. The ability reduces the damage Clefairy's partner Pokemon receives making Clefairy's partner very hard to deal with. 252 HP / 172 Def lets Clefairy always survive Adamant maximum Attack Mega Kangaskhan's Double-Edge. The Special Attack investment allows Clefairy's Moonblast to OHKO 4 SpD Hydreigon 100% of the time. If using Icy Wind, move the Special Attack EVs to Special Defense.

Usage Tips
========

Follow Me is used to protect Clefairy's partner from attacks, and Helping Hand is used occasionally to boost the partner's offenses. Don't be afraid to let Clefairy go down if it's taking a lot of nasty hits. It's better for Clefairy to do its job for a little while than sit around and not do anything later on.

Team Options
========

Pokemon that can set up with Substitute or boosting moves, such as Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Metagross, Mega Salamence, Swords Dance Terrakion, Nasty Plot Thundurus, and Heatran are all great partners. Tailwind and Trick Room users such as Suicune and Jellicent greatly appreciate Follow Me's redirectional support and Friend Guard's Defensive boost. Pokemon that can take out Steel-types, such as Heatran and Mega Charizard Y, are also good partners. Dragon-types such as Hydreigon and Steel-types such as Aegislash and Heatran naturally compliment Clefairy. A rule of thumb when using Clefairy is to make sure that its partner is able to make up for Clefairy's extreme lack of offensive presence.

Other Options
########

Thunder Wave provides Clefairy with an alternate method of speed control. Moonlight can be used to keep Clefairy healthy longer. Heal Pulse and Aromatherapy allow Clefairy to further support its partner, though both moves are fairly situational. Tickle and Fake Tears can be used to help soften up the opponent's team, but Clefairy is very slow and usually can't use either of these moves before its partner gets the chance to move. Clefairy is one of the most viable users of Gravity, if that interests you.


Checks & Counters
########

**Taunt**: Taunt reduces Clefairy's usefulness severely. Taunt users to be wary of include Thundurus and Gengar.

**Strong Steel- and Poison-type Attacks**: Mega Mawile can OHKO Clefairy regardless of defensive investment. Aegislash can 2HKO Clefairy with Flash Cannon. Bisharp's Iron Head will always 2HKO Clefairy, and Life Orb sets even have a chance to OHKO.

also Mysteria I left some comments on your check
sorry it took so long ;_;

Overview
########
Clefairy is a useful user of Follow me user that unsurprisingly functions very similar to Clefable.
"useful user of" sounds kinda funny to me so I would've left that as is, or changed "useful" to some other adjective
also Follow me --> Follow Me


Moves
========
Helping Hand lets it boost its partner offenses and make up somewhat for Clefairy's bad offenses.
"partner's offenses" :p also, Helping Hand is doing both these things - "Helping Hand lets....and makes up..." so make --> makes
Moonblast is your strongest, (RC) and most reliable attack
your --> Clefairy's

Set Details
========
Friend Guard is the main reason to use Clefairy over Clefable or Togekiss and can as it can make your partner very, very scary.
the blue "l" in Clefable is pretty hard to see so I'd recommend using bold or coloring in the entire word. otherwise your change looks alright, as long as you stick a comma before "as". always use a comma before as if you're using it to mean because

Usage Tips
========
Use Follow Me to Protect your partner from danger attacks
Clefairy's partner

Other Options
########
Heal Pulse and Aromatherapy allow you to further support your partner, though both are fairly situational.
you(r) --> Clefairy('s)
"you" should only be used to refer to the battler!

Tickle and Fake Tears can be used to help soften up your opponent
this your is okay because opponent refers to the other battler. I would change "opponent" to "opponent's team" though because that's what you're actually softening up imo

Checks & Counters
########
**Strong Steel- and Poison-type attacks*:
these section titles should always be capitalized, so attacks --> Attacks. stuff like "and" and "with" are fine lowercase though.

the rest of your changes were fine so I didn't include them here! in general I would say to watch you/your usage and be a little more thorough maybe? I'm sure you know to capitalize stuff like Follow Me and that you just missed that 'cause you were going fast or something.
