Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this announcement discusses a Clefable setup focusing on Follow Me support, Swords Dance win conditions, and options like EQ or Protect. It covers counters such as Rotom, Excadrill, Talonflame and Kommo-o, scarf strategies, matchup notes and why the team performs well in practice.
Tried to make clefable work and this seems super good, what do we think?


How
Switch
And hit with eq
Or protect
Yeah
Excadrill has mold breaker, no it isnt
Nothing gets grass coverage though, just break through it
It is, theres just nothing that can help against it
You usually bring both, talonflame also helps against it
Though sometimes we leave one of them behind due to bad mu
Yep
Kommo-o ohkos
And sucker punch does 25% back
With swords dance up after clefable tanks everything dies
Not worth cutting eq, just follow me + swords dance
Against rotom just dont mega until the second turn
Ofc
Scarf clefable into follow me
Which isn’t even that bad
Clefable dying isn’t bad as long as you’re set up
Just have to ignore it until lategame
The team has issues in theory but in practice it plays amazingly
