Set Details
========
- Clefairy provides support in helping its partner live longer by redirecting attacks and boosts the partners bulk with Friend Guard. Clefairy can also increase its partners damage with Helping Hand.
- After You is a good tool in Trick Room, thanks to Clefairys low speed, allowing Calyrex-S or Miraidon to move right after Clefairy. Encore can lock an opponent into an undesirable move, such as Fake Out or Protect allowing your partner to set up or focus on the other opponent. Icy Wind is a good speed control option to hinder threats like Miraidon or Calyrex-S which makes Urshifu faster.
- Eviolite boosts the bulk of Clefairy preventing it from being OHKO by Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I and Electro Drift from Miraidon, allowing it to stay on the field longer.
- The spread allows Clefairy to survive an Electro Drift from Assault Vest Miraidon and have a 50% chance to survive two Glacial Lances from Calyrex-I. The spread also lets Clefairy survive a Meteor Beam from +1 Lunala and Behemoth Bash from Zamazenta-C. 0 Speed IVs helps to underspeed Amoonguss and Calyrex-I so Clefairy can use After You in Trick Room before they can move.
- Tera Grass is used for ignoring powder moves so Clefairy can't be put to sleep with Spore from Amoonguss, while also helping Clefairy resist Electro Drift from Miraidon or Wood Hammer from Rillaboom. Tera Water is good for extra survivability against Steel-type moves like Behemoth Blade from Zacian-C and reduces the amount of damage taken by Flare Blitz from Koraidon.

Teambuilding
=========
- Taunt is a very strong counter to Clefairy as it removes any of the support that Clefairy can provide effectively making it a 1v2 on the field or forcing Clefairy to swap out.
- Amoongus can put Clefairy to sleep using Spore since it moves first outside of Trick Room or hit it with STAB Sludge Bomb which can also counter Tera Grass Clefairy.
- Calyrex-I using Glacial Lance and Calyrex-S using Astral Barrage can hit both targets which makes Follow Me useless in the scenario.
- Zacian-C with Behemoth Blade can OHKO Clefairy and Zamazenta-C with Behemoth Bash and 2HKO Clefairy.
- Calyrex-S is a great partner for Clefairy since Clefairy can offer support with Friend Guard, Helping Hand, and Follow Me. Calyrex-S lacks bulk so the redirection from Clefairy can let Calyrex-S live longer. After You can help Calyrex-S move faster in Trick Room where it normally struggles due to its high Speed. Calyrex-S also handles Calyrex-I, Amoonguss, and opposing Calyrex-S which Clefairy struggles to survive against.
- Clefairy can increases Kyogre's longevity with Follow Me which helps Water Spout do more damage, Friend Guard also decreases the amount of damage Kyogre takes from opposing attacks. Clefairy using Helping Hand on Kyogre using Water Spout makes it a huge threat on the field when at high HP. Kyogre can threaten Calyrex-I, Calyrex-S, Zacian-C, and Zamazenta-C which threaten Clefairy.

Set Details
========
- Clefairy provides support in helping its partner live longer by redirecting attacks and boosts the partners bulk with Friend Guard. Helping Hand lets Life Orb Calyrex-S do more damage with Astral Barrage so that it can OHKO Calyrex-I. Rewrite this to something like "Clefairy can additionally increase the damage of its partner alongside increasing their longevity, with Helping Hand..."
- After You is a good tool in Trick Room, thanks to Clefairy's low speed, allowing Calyrex-S or Miraidon to move right after Clefairy. Encore can lock an opponent into an undesirable move, such as Fake Out or Protect allowing your partner to set up or focus on the other opponent. Icy Wind is a good speed control option to hinder threats like Miraidon or Calyrex-S. Mention a partner that would benefit from the speed drop
- Eviolite boosts the bulk of Clefairy protecting preventing it from being OHKO by Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I and Electro Drift from Miraidon, while also allowing it to stay on the field longer.
- The spread allows Clefairy to survive a non Choice Specs Electro Drift from Modest Miraidon Probably better to just say Assault Vest Miraidon, Choice Specs and Scarf sets generally use Timid and you don't survive against Timid Choice Specs and have a 50% chance to survive two Glacial Lances from max Attack This is assumed anyway Calyrex-I. The spread also lets Clefairy survive a Meteor Beam from +1 Lunala and Behemoth Bash from Zamazenta-C. 0 Speed IVs helps to underspeed Amoonguss and Calyrex-I so Clefairy can use After You in Trick Room sooner before they can move.
- Tera Grass is used for ignoring powder moves so Clefairy can't be put to sleep with Spore from Amoonguss. Could mention Tera Grass providing a nice resistance to Electro Drift from Miraidon and Wood Hammer from Rillaboom Tera Water is good for extra survivability against Steel-type moves like Behemoth Blade from Zacian-C and reduces the amount of damage taken by Flare Blitz from Koraidon.

Teambuilding
=========
- Taunt is a very strong counter to Clefairy as it removes any of the support that Clefairy can provide effectively making it a 1v2 on the field or forcing Clefairy to swap out. Amoonguss can put Clefairy to sleep using Spore Mention that Amoonguss moves before Clefairy outside of Trick Room or hit it with STAB Sludge Bomb which can also counter Tera Grass Clefairy. Calyrex-I using Glacial Lance and Calyrex-S using Astral Barrage can hit both targets which makes Follow Me useless in the scenario. Zacian-C with Behemoth Blade can OHKO Clefairy and Zamazenta-C with Behemoth Bash and 2HKO Clefairy. Split this paragraph into smaller bullet points
- Calyrex-S is a great partner for Clefairy since Clefairy can offer support with Friend Guard, Helping Hand, and Follow Me. Calyrex-S lacks bulk so the redirection from Clefairy can let Calyrex-S live longer. After You can help Calyrex-S move faster in Trick Room where it normally struggles due to its high Speed. Tie this back to Clefairy's threats and checks, mention how Calyrex-S can deal with some of them Clefairy can protect Kyogre's HP Rewrite this to say Clefairy increases Kyogre's longevity with Follow Me which helps Water Spout do more damage, Friend Guard also decreases the amount of damage Kyogre takes from opposing attacks. Clefairy using Helping Hand on Kyogre using Water Spout makes it a huge threat on the field when at high HP. Do the same as Calyrex-S with tying this back to Clefairy's threats and checks and split this paragraph into smaller bullet points
