About Clefable
In your opinion what's the best use for a 100% Clefable with Pound/DG al level 25? I sometimes use it to attack gyms: I find it very valuable as a "generalist", thanks to its high HP. Do you think it will be a strong defender once powered it up to higher levels? Consider that water-type pokémons and Dragonites are the most widespread pokémons in gyms here. Thank you!

I've somewhat personally beaten this topic to death, but unfortunately strong defenders w/ low CP do more harm than good.
He'll be darn-near impossible to efficiently train against so your teammates will have a harder time and the gym will level up slower...and he will definitely be the lowest Pokemon (or close to it) w/ 2k CP @ lvl 30
Meanwhile, a 2700 CP Vape will have no problem walking right through it. Maybe the attacker will have to use a few more potions.
Also, it goes without saying that as the lowest Pokemon in the gym you'll likely get kicked out first
If they ever do change the gym system so that lower CP mons are relevant, it will be a good defender. But until then, pass.
Except for Chancey, they are a minor obstacle to prestiging. While it is true that he will be first to get the boot, if it is a low-level gym, it didn't take much to get in (if anything). I can then save my high-CP defenders for when I need to prestige 7k-9k (possibly through other people's Clefables) and place deep up.
