Klefki holds a 0.04% usage rate in singles, ranked 212th. Almost every set runs Prankster with Light Clay to set up Light Screen and Reflect, with Steel Beam providing coverage. Its Steel/Fairy typing grants immunity to Poison and Dragon, but the Ground and Fire weaknesses along with a 75 base Speed mean it relies on Prankster priority to screen first. The frail bulk keeps it firmly in a support role rather than a damage dealer.
Playstyle:The dominant spread is Bold 31/0/32/2/0/1 at 86.8%, dumping EVs into Defense and HP so it survives long enough to set screens. Light Clay at 88.2% extends both screens to eight turns, justifying the set. Prankster is locked at 100%, letting it screen before faster threats. Steel Beam at 21.7% delivers STAB damage into Psychic and Fairy resists like Mega Tyranitar and Primarina, common switch-ins to its team. Primarina (18.4%), Basculegion (18.2%), Garchomp (17.9%), Mega Houndoom (17.8%), and Venusaur (17.8%) round out the top partners; Primarina and Basculegion appreciate the Poison and Dragon immunity, while Garchomp leans on the screens to survive opposing priority.
Klefki reaches 0.19% usage in doubles, ranked 144th. It retains its Prankster support role, but Light Screen (16.8%), Reflect (13.7%), and Thunder Wave (13.3%) see more even usage. Light Clay at 52% is still the leading item, though Sitrus Berry (17%) and Focus Sash (8.1%) now compete, reflecting doubles emphasis on survival rather than screen duration. Its Steel/Fairy typing blocks common Poison and Dragon attacks, yet Ground and Fire remain structural liabilities.
Playstyle:Doubles play revolves around supporting allies with screens. Light Screen (16.8%) and Reflect (13.7%) are nearly tied, with Thunder Wave (13.3%) close behind to cripple fast opponents, all enabled by Prankster priority. Dazzling Gleam at 9.7% offers Fairy STAB, especially useful against Dragon-type neighbours. Spreads diverge: Calm 32/0/11/0/23/0 (12.1%), Bold 32/0/29/0/5/0 (11.8%), Bold 32/0/32/0/2/0 (11.5%) show Special Defense investment rising compared to singles, reflecting denser special offense in doubles. The split in both ability role and EV distribution shows no single dominant function; screen-setting, speed control, and survival each occupy roughly equal weight.
