Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Klefki's spread. It leans mixed with Defense out front. And you'll get 1 Defense EV per KO for it. Follows a fast 800K XP curve.
These key collectors threaten any attackers by fiercely jingling their keys at them.
It never lets go of a key that it likes, so people give it the keys to vaults and safes as a way to prevent crime.
Klefki Weakness
Klefki's Steel/Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire and Ground. It shrugs off Poison and Dragon-type attacks completely. It resists 9 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. With 57 HP and balanced defenses, Klefki can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Best Locations to Catch Klefki in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
Klefki Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Klefki looks average on paper at 470 BST. But Prankster is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier hazard setter on our tier list. Thunder Wave with Lightclay is the standard set.
Klefki gets Prankster and Magician. But Prankster is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Klefki is leaning toward the physical side (base 80 Attack). Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 75 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the hazard setter role.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Klefki has answers, but so do you. Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Fire and Ground-type attackers hit hardest.
