Clefairy

This is a Common Basic Pokémon card of Clefairy (Japanese: ピッピ, Pippi) from the English 'Perfect Order' set, numbered 30. As a Common, it would have been one of the more frequently pulled cards in the set; specific stats and artwork details are not confirmed here.

Clefairy is a small, pink, fairy-like Pokémon traditionally associated with the moon, often gathering in quiet mountainous places like Mt. Moon on nights of a full moon. It is known for its charming, communal dancing under moonlight and its tiny wings that glow faintly, lending it a graceful, otherworldly quality. Shy and rarely seen, it is a beloved early-generation Pokémon and was once a strong candidate to be the franchise mascot before Pikachu; it later gained the Fairy type in Generation VI and evolves from Cleffa and into Clefable.

The Japanese name ピッピ (Pippi) is a reduplicated, cute-sounding coinage; 'pi' is a small, light, chirpy onomatopoeic syllable common in cutesy Japanese names, evoking a tiny, endearing creature rather than deriving from a specific dictionary word. The English name 'Clefairy' combines 'clef' (the musical symbol, hinting at its rhythmic dancing and song) with 'fairy', reflecting its Fairy Pokémon category and dainty, magical appearance.
