Aurorus @ Choice Specs
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Blizzard
- Freeze-Dry
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power Rock

Check, nice and simple. Blizzard rips it apart with a 2HKO, but lack of recovery amplified by an SR weakness stops this from being a counter.

Skuntank @ Choice Band
Ability: Aftermath
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Poison Jab
- Crunch
- Pursuit / Sucker Punch
- Defog

hardest of counters. just clicks poison jab for an ohko or possibly chip with pursuit. regular sets also work but I'm a wallbreaker spamming kind of guy.
 
aggron.gif

Aggron @ Choice Band
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Head Smash
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch

Aggron easily serves as a counter to Clefairy. Clefairy can literally do nothing to Aggron in return; whether it be Moonblast or Seismic Toss. Aggron outspeeds every time and hits Clefairy hard. The nice thing is not just STAB Heavy Slam OHKOs it:

252+ Atk Choice Band Aggron Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Eviolite Clefairy: 678-800 (197 - 232.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

So does Head Smash:

252+ Atk Choice Band Aggron Head Smash vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Eviolite Clefairy: 424-501 (123.2 - 145.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

In Clefairy's case, Seismic Toss is ideal for Aggron but won't have a chance to use it given a 1v1 situation. Aggron wins 100% of the time!

Dugtrio-Alola @ Leftovers
Ability: Tangling Hair
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Substitute
- Toxic
A check, Alola Duggy's Iron head has a safe chance of 2 OHKOing clef,while it can also sub and beat it,Duggy also is annoying to clef's teammates to deal because of toxic and duggy's great speed,while Switching in is not always safe because of seismic,Duggy makes a great check to it

Haunter @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Wave
- Hidden Power Ground
- Destiny Bond

A good offensive check, immune to toxic and seismic toss, resists moonblast, just need be worry with knock off, also 2hitKO in return.

252 SpA Life Orb Haunter Sludge Wave vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite Clefairy: 234-276 (68 - 80.2%)
0 SpA Clefairy Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Haunter: 54-64 (23.3 - 27.7%)
0- Atk Clefairy Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Haunter: 126-150 (54.5 - 64.9%)
 
victreebel.gif

Victreebel @ Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sludge Bomb
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Strength Sap

Victreebel serves as a counter to Clefairy, using it as an opportunity to come in and starting breaking, as it absorbs Moonblast and takes Seismic Toss’s, being most annoyed by a stray Knock Off and is immune to Toxic. It can heal off residual damage with Strength Sap and always threatens Clef with Sludge Bomb.
 
togedemaru.gif

Togedemaru @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- Zing Zap
- Toxic
- Encore

Good counter to Clefairy, Iron Head does ~80%, and minus Seismic Toss its other attacks don't do enough damage to matter.

252 Atk Togedemaru Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Eviolite Clefairy: 254-302 (73.8 - 87.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

0 SpA Clefairy Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Togedemaru: 44-52 (16.2 - 19.1%) -- possible 8HKO after Leftovers recovery
Clefairy Seismic Toss vs. 0 HP Togedemaru: 100-100 (36.9 - 36.9%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Leftovers recovery

someone nominate BU Throh moonblast only does 25% max
 
kingler.gif

Kingler @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Agility
- Liquidation
- Knock Off
- Swords Dance / Superpower

Nice check, Clef gets ripped apart by Liquidation but Kingler hates switching into a Moonblast or Toxic. I've been an advocate in the past for never dropping Superpower, but the shifts screwed us over; Ferroseed and Gastrodon aren't relevant targets anymore, and Water + Fighting coverage is walled by Qwilfish and Altaria, making Knock Off a great candidate. This is especially true alongside Swords Dance, helping you blast through said two Pokemon.
