Prankster Klefki provides great support with priority dual screens and Spikes. Foul Play checks physical setup sweepers such as Mimikyu and Scizor. Thunder Wave is another option that allows Klefki to cripple opposing threats such as Charizard, Duraludon, Dracovish, and Volcarona. Its defensive typing gives Fairy teams a much needed immunity to Poison-type attacks and allows it to take Steel-type attacks such as Scizor's Bullet Punch, Excadrill's Iron Head, and Aegislash's Flash Cannon comfortably. The EV spread and nature maximize Klefki's its physical bulk.

All of Klefki's teammates appreciate its screens and Spikes, especially setup sweepers. Belly Drum Azumarill makes a great teammate because it resists Fire-type attacks and can tank a hit behind screens, allowing it to set up. Calm Mind Hatterene is another great option because it can bounce back entry hazards and Taunt to prevent Klefki from being worn down or stopped while also having potential to set up with ease. Swords Dance Mimikyu and Bulk Up Grimmsnarl can also be paired with Klefki to set up against Ghost- and Steel-types. Calm Mind Primarina benefits from screens as well, allowing it to safely get behind a Substitute and start setting up. Nasty Plot Togekiss makes another solid option, since it can break Toxapex and Amoonguss after setting up. Choice Scarf Gardevoir also benefits from Klefki's screens because it can revenge kill and spam attacks with nothing to lose against opposing weather teams thanks to Trace. Ribombee pairs with Klefki quite well because it can set Sticky Web reliably in tandem with Klefki's Spikes. Clefable is another good option for its ability to reliably set Stealth Rock and wallbreaking potential.

Milak, you did a really good job again. This is almost perfect and stamp-able, but I'd like to see these minor adjustments next time. As usual, any qs -> Discord.

The first paragraph contains some curly apostrophes; watch out for these.

Its defensive typing gives Fairy teams a much needed immunity to Poison-type attacks and it also takes allows it to take Steel-type attacks such as Scizor’s Bullet Punch, Excadrill’s Iron Head,(AC) and Aegislash’s Flash Cannon comfortably.

1) "gives Fairy a much needed immunity" is just fine imo, though, of course, "Fairy teams" is correct, too.

2) You already know this, so this is just an oversight. Comma before "and" here. You could also do what I did (remove "it" so what follows is not an independent clause.)



Light Clay allows extends the duration of Klefki’s screens to be extended and ,(AC) while (I'd rather emphasize contrast here) the EV spread and nature maximizes maximize its physical bulk.

I'm not quite a fan of the and -> while change here. Comma before and would have done the trick, though, again, this version is correct too. The rest of the changes are great.

Clefable is another good option for reliable Stealth Rocks its ability to set Stealth Rock and wallbreaking potential.

You lost the "reliable" sense here. "to reliably set Stealth Rock" is better in this context.
