Lusamine Cleffa

Anime

Trivia

  • Unlike its evolutions, it has no wings.
  • Its category is shared with Staryu, both being known as the Star Shape Pokémon.
  • It has a unique Base Stat total.
  • Along with its counterpart Igglybuff and Morelull, it has the lowest base speed of all Fairy-types.
  • In PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, there are plush toys that resemble Cleffa.

Origin

Cleffa is based on a star, and probably pixies/fairies.

Etymology

Cleffa is a shortened version of Clefairy. It may also simply come from clef (French for 'key', as in a 'musical key').
