How does Clefable 5 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

What does being a Colorless card do for Clefable 5?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

What being a Colorless card is worth

No group in the archive most often prints a Colorless weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule. Going the other way, Colorless cards are themselves most exposed to Fighting.

Back to summary

What knocks out Clefable 5 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 35 printed damage rather than 70.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 1,208 cards in the archive that can remove Clefable 5 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 35. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Clefableweak to Fighting ×2
Clefableresists Psychic -30

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Psychic resistance changes

Damage from Psychic attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

What is Clefable as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Clefable 5 is one print of Clefable. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Clefable has been printed 33 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Clefable 5 can be?

Clefable evolves from Clefairy, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

The Clefable line, oldest stage firstPokédex #036
  • 1ClefairyClefairyHardest attack printed at this stage: 60 damage70 HP
  • 2ClefableClefableHardest attack printed at this stage: 100 damage. Evolving here adds 50 HP over the stage before it120 HP

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (120 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Back to summary

Is this the strongest Clefable print, and can the older ones still be played?

33 prints carry this name in the archive, and 30 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (320 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

30 rows are shown of the 33 prints counted under this name.

Clefable 5 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
  • It cannot start the game in play — Clefairy has to be on the field first.

  • 1,221 cards in the archive clear that bar.

Clefable 5 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Clefable 5?

Clefable 5 has 70 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 35 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 70.

What is the retreat cost of Clefable 5?

2 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Clefable print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 30 prints listed on this page, 6 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Clefable evolve from?

Clefairy. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Clefable 5 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Clefable 5 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
