Many people might have misunderstood one thing.
That was that Pokemon of the Clefairy line were a common species.
The truth was precisely the opposite.
Although Clefairy's strange and adorable appearance made it immensely popular.
Very few people could keep one by their side as a Pokemon pet, like a Pichu.
According to current League statistics.
The Clefairy Tribe had only ever left traces of habitation in three regions.
They were Mt. Moon in Kanto, Mt. Coronet in Sinnoh, and Meteor Falls in Hoenn.
Without a doubt, compared to most Pokemon, Clefairy's numbers could be considered exceedingly scarce.

Their scarcity also meant that on the underground trading market, a sufficiently outstanding-looking Clefairy was worth no less than some ordinary Starter Pokemon.
After all.
There were still quite a few ways to obtain Starter Pokemon, while the depths of the three regions where Clefairy lived were hardly peaceful places.
The strength of the Wild Pokemon in Mt. Moon was already evident.
As a massive mountain range that ran through all of Sinnoh, Mt. Coronet's Pokemon would only be stronger.
Meteor Falls, meanwhile, had an incomparably close connection with the Sky Dragon.
