Klefki

Klefki (Japanese: クレッフィ, HepburnKureffi) (KLEF-key[1]) is a Steel/Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Biology

Physiology

Klefki concept art

Klefki is a small, metallic Pokémon that resembles a key-ring with multiple keys dangling from its loop-like body. Its face is on the small round center part of its body that resembles a large key with a pink teardrop-shaped formation on its underside. It has a light gray face with a crescent-like marking, a pink spot on its forehead, tiny black eyes and a mouth that resembles a keyhole.

Behavior

Klefki has a habit of collecting keys, especially master keys; it sometimes attempt to sneak into people's homes to obtain keys, and giving a key to it makes the Pokémon very happy. It never lets go a key it has collected and will fiercely jingle its keys at aggressors, so people would entrust Klefki with the keys to vaults and safes to prevent crime, and royalties and nobles in the past would take good care of Klefki and pass each down for generations. However, due to their pickiness, they will discard keys they dislike after absorbing the keys' metal ions, while hanging onto ones that they favor for decades.

It should be noted that Klefki used to dwell in mines long ago, but they became more mingled with humans and started residing in human settlements after the minerals they diet on became more scarce.

Natural abilities

Klefki's horns are for absorbing metal ions by inserting them into chinks of metal.

  • Moon

    It inserts its horn into chinks in metal, absorbing metal ions. For some reason, it collects keys.

  • Ultra Sun

    Long ago it lived in mines, but once the minerals that make up its diet became scarcer, Klefki began appearing in human settlements.

  • Ultra Moon

    Although it’s unclear why it collects keys, giving it a key makes Klefki very happy. However, it apparently only likes master keys.

    This Pokémon is constantly collecting keys. Entrust a Klefki with important keys, and the Pokémon will protect them no matter what.

    Klefki sucks in metal ions with the horn topping its head. It seems this Pokémon loves keys so much that its head needed to look like one, too.

Trivia

Origin

Klefki is based on a keychain. It might also be based on how people would often blame fairies for the loss of small objects like keys (referencing its Fairy type).

Klefki was a pokémon in the original Pokémon series but was exclusively in france, Klefki was only introduced world wide in the x and y series.

Etymology

Klefki comes from clef (French for "key"), kleptomaniac (a person or creature that collects random things, in this case keys), and key.
