Clefable is a great defensive Pokemon with access to magic guard and a good movepool, including recovery. Magic guard is useful because it can become a status sponge for it's team and not take hazard damage. Clefable is also the only viable stealth rocker which is extremely important for getting chip on opposing Pokemon, Furthermore it can cripple opponents using Thunder Wave, namely Pokemon like Barraskewda or Darmanitan-galar. Maximum HP and Def enable it to act as a physical wall and can switch into physically-oriented Pokemon.

Offensive Pokemon like Gardevoir, Grimmsnarl, Togekiss, and Mimikyu greatly appreciate Clefable's access to Stealth Rock as it breaks Focus Sash and provides steady chip damage, enabling them to be able to clean up the opposing team. Thunder Wave also benefits teammates like Gardevoir, togekiss, and grimmsnarl that otherwise can struggle due to their mediocre speed. Overall Clefable plays a supporting role for Fairy and can be a status sponge with magic guard, and should be paired with offensive Pokemon that don't want to be statused like grimmsnarl and gardevoir.

Fairy has 2 options for Stealth Rocks, Clefable and mawile. Clefable is more of a great defensive Pokemonoption with access to an amazing ability Magic guard, and a good movepool, including with recovery. <<add sentence about usefulness of Magic Guard>> <<add sentence about usefulness of Stealth Rock, include that it's the only viable SR user (don't refer to mawile)>> Furthermore, it can cripple opponents using Thunder Wave <<add example of a target for TWave that particularly threatens fairy>> or do Some Damage for it's teammates to sweep using it's STAB Moonblast. Most of the time you're using Clefable you'll be setting up rocks and then cripping/Chipping for your sweepers to come in after. Maximum HP and Def Is so it can enable it to act as a physical wall and can switch into the Pphysically-oriented offensive threats Pokemon and since it has a naturally high HP and SpD stat it can be pretty hard to kill. Lastly it offers a valuable switchin to status moves like Willo-Wisp and Toxic with magic guard negating any damage it would take in the battle. <<move the details of this sentence to the sentence I refer to about the usefulness of Magic Guard earlier>>

For Clefables best Teammates you normally want the Offensive Pokemon fairy has to offer like Gardevoir, Grimmsnarl, Togekiss, and Mimikyu greatly appreciate Clefable's access to Stealth Rock as it breaks Focus Sash and provides steady chip damage, enabling them to be able to clean up the opposing team now that rocks get chip and rid of any potential Focus Sashes. Thunder Wave also benefits teammates like X and X that otherwise can struggle due to their mediocre speed.you can twave Pokemon faster than your attackers giving them a lot more opportunity to sweep, and you can chip them for the same reason. Overall Clefable plays a supporting role for the attackers that Fairy has to offer and can be a status sponge with magic guard, and should be paired with offensive Pokemon who can take advantage of that. <<make this the first sentence of paragraph 2 also instead of being vague in saying "paired with offensive Pokemon who can take advantage of that," give specific examples of Pokemon who actively fear status (such as Grimmsnarl with burn)>>

Please make the above changes then tag me to QC again. I'd suggest looking over some uploaded analyses to see how these are generally written. While your details all make sense (the way you'd explain something if you were just talking to them), they don't necessarily follow the style of analyses.

LuckyPiper any progress on this .-.

As a general note, I implore you to check out the Spelling and Grammar Standards before continuing with this analysis, and for any analysis going into the future. There's a good number of capitalization, spacing, and wording errors here, which is fine considering your first analysis (to my knowledge). It's a good way for you to improve and hopefully this knowledge will help you write more analyses with higher quality in the future~

That being said, some things to note in the first paragraph:
-"Moonblast", not "Moon Blast"
-Let's put Soft-Boiled > Moonlight on the set now that Pokemon Home has released that move.
-The first sentence feels a bit basic here; generalize how Clefable is a solid utility Pokemon not just on the basis of using Magic Guard and a decent-ish movepool.
-Move the sentence about Magic Guard to before the sentence about EV investment to follow in the style of analyses.
-When saying a regional variant, always list the region the form comes from first as opposed to the hyphenated form (Galarian Darmanitan, not Darmanitan-Galar).
-Except for HP, you should always write out the full name of the stat (Defense, not Def).
-Whenever mentioning spreads, it's better to state that it's an investment (Maximum HP and Defense investment)

In the second paragraph:
-mention more about what Clefable's teammates offer for it, and/or what they can do with Clefable's support. Leave most of the talk about what Clefable does in the first paragraph unless there's a utility option that a teammate of its appreciates. (ex: entry hazard damage attained by Clefable's Stealth Rock puts "x" foes in range of "x" teammate's attacks.; etc)
-Go further in depth on what some of these teammates do. (ex: Choice Scarf Gardevoir is a potent revenge killer, Togekiss is a great stallbreaker w/ Nasty Plot + Air Slash, Grimmsnarl uses its RestTalk set to break down foes, etc.)
-Not exactly sure if Gardevoir should be mentioned in that Thunder Wave bullet for teammates that have "meddling speed". Choice Scarf Gardevoir is arguably one of Fairy's better revenge killers alongside Trace to take on most weather abusers, especially considering other potential support like Ribombee's Sticky Web, and whatnot, so I'd replace Gardevoir for something else here.
-Speaking of Ribombee, it's definitely worth mentioning it here as a Team Option.

It's a bit of an overhaul here so I'm not going to call this a check just yet. Tagging Moosical to ask in assisting with this process cause it's been sitting for a couple of months now with not much development.
