[OVERVIEW] Clefable is best employed as an aggressive status spreader, capable of inflicting status on targets that the opponent might otherwise seek to preserve and thus potentially throwing their plans into disarray. It's able to do this thanks to its access to both Thunder Wave and Sing...

Following the decision of Smogon's staff to force the RBY council to exclude a broad swathe of the RBY community from having a say in the fate of their favourite format, it has become abundantly apparent that Smogon's staff care little for the needs of the RBY community, instead caring more...
