Catch CP after the raid

The CP you will see on the encounter screen.

IVs Lv 20 CP Lv 25 CP (weather)
10 / 10 / 10 floor 627 780
15 / 15 / 15 100% 676 841
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 676 CP it is a perfect Clefairy — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

Raid guide

How the fight goes and what to bring.

Trainer difficulty Soloable with six level-40 top counters. Worked out from the boss HP, the raid timer and the counter DPS above.

Clefairy resists Dragon, Bug, Dark, Fighting — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.

FAQ

What are the best counters for Clefairy?

The top counter is Mega Lucario with Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash at 55.5 DPS against Clefairy. Shadow Metagross (55.3) and Mega Metagross (53.6) follow.

What is Clefairy weak to?

Clefairy takes super effective damage from Poison, Steel-type moves.

How many trainers do I need to beat Clefairy?

Clefairy can be soloed. The six best counters average 53.1 DPS against it at level 40, which clears the boss inside the timer with room to spare.

Can I beat Clefairy without Shadow or Mega Pokemon?

Can Clefairy be shiny?

Yes — the encounter after this raid can be shiny.

What weather boosts Clefairy?

Cloudy. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 780–841 CP instead of 627–676. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.

Is Clefairy worth raiding?

Clefairy has no raid-attacker or GO Battle League ranking on this site, so the reasons to raid it are the dex entry, the candy and the shiny rather than your battle teams.
