With a good typing in Fairy, an amazing ability in Magic Guard, and a wide utility movepull, Clefable functions as a great utility and defensive Pokemon for bulkier teams. Stealth Rock allows Clefable to chip down foes switching in for its teammates to take advantage of. Thunder Wave can be used to cripple faster threats, like Cinderace, Meowscarada, and Dragapult, while Flamethrower hits Steel-types that can easily come in on Clefable's other options, like Corviknight, Excadrill, and Aegislash. Calm Mind allows Clefable to function as an effective wincon once its checks, such as Galarian Slowking, Mega Dragalge, Mega Metagross, and Sneasler, are removed. Leftovers gives Clefable a passive recovery option, while Rocky Helmet is used to passively chip down the Pokemon Clefable switches into, like Meowscarada, Mega Lopunny, and Hisuian Samurott. Life Orb can be used with Calm Mind variants to significantly improve Clefable's damage output, like being able to 2HKO Corviknight with Flamethrower after Stealth Rock and OHKO uninvested Annihilape after a Calm Mind boost.
Magic Guard Clefable can fit on a wide variety of teams from stall to bulky offense, all of which appreciate the utility it provides.
