Talonphlegm @ Leftovers
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 192 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 60 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Will-O-Wisp / Bulk Up / Swords Dance
- Taunt
- Roost
Generally speaking, Talonflame with taunt and roost is an excellent answer to almost any Clefable set. The posted Clefable set in particular can beat Talonflame only if it switches directly into TWave, assuming the Talonflame has no boosting moves. Specially defensive bird is obviously an option, but for purposes of beating Clefable it's not necessary. If Talonflame switches into any move other than TWave, it can shut down Clefable with Taunt and take +1 Moonblasts for days. If you're looking for an unconditional hard counter to Clefable (bar LO tbolt lol), the following set gets the job done:
bird @ Leftovers
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 Spe
Careful Nature
- Brave Bird
- Bulk Up / Swords Dance
- Taunt
- Roost
