Klefki is one of those interesting cases where it has a great defensive typing in theory (fairy/steel) but mediocre stats. However, it has prankster, which is one of my favorite abilities. Klefki is the first prankster to have access to both screens, and this set capitalises on that. The EV investment is to pump up Klefki's disappointing HP pool, while giving it borderline decent physical bulk to help it take hits. Calm nature helps a bit on the special side, trading attack for more special defence. Since this is a dual screens set, the item choice of light clay should be self-explanatory. For the moveset, Dual Screens that you can set up at +1 priority helps you keep in Klefki to spread status mayhem or keep your sweeper alive through one set-up move. Last two moves are up to personal preference. Subsitute is to keep Klefki in longer; those dolls are going to be hard to break when protected by dual screens. if you do go with sub, last move should be either a status move or Foul Play. Status is a choice between toxic or Twave; toxic if you actually want to do damage to people, Twave if you have alternative damage sources on team. Foul play is to mindgame people. Upon seeing you set up one screen, your opponent will likely put in a setup sweeper and start to set up. When he does, you have 2 options: 1) swap in a fast Encorer (like whimsicott) or 2) sub and foul play
