Flavor Text

: Thought to live with others on quiet mountains, it is popular for its adorable nature.
: It flies using the wings on its back to collect moonlight. This Pokémon is difficult to find.
: It is said that happiness will come to those who see a gathering of CLEFAIRY dancing under a full moon.
: The moonlight that it stores in the wings on its back apparently gives it the ability to float in midair.
