About the Pokémon
Clefairy is the Fairy Pokémon, recorded as No. 035 in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation I, associated with the Kanto generation of games. Its appeal and elusive nature feature prominently in early Pokédex accounts. It evolves from Cleffa.
About the Expansion
Released in Japan on 20 October 1996, Expansion Pack established the Pokémon Trading Card Game alongside its starter product. Its Kanto Pokémon, Trainer cards and Energy cards introduced the game's foundational structure. The original Japanese Pocket Monsters card back places these cards at the beginning of the TCG's collecting history.
