How to Evolve Cleffa

Evolution Line
Cleffa	Lvl + High Friendship →	Clefairy	Moon Stone →	Clefable

Evolve Cleffa by Reaching High Friendship

Cleffa will evolve into Clefairy once it levels up while having a high Friendship stat.

Cleffa will naturally grow closer with you as you travel and battle with it. You can also let it participate in Contests, letting it hold the Soothe Bell or obtaining it in a Luxury Ball, among other methods.

You can see how high a Pokemon's Friendship stat is with the Poketch's Friendship Checker app. Having two hearts will mean that a Pokemon is very close to you and has reached max Friendship value.
