Title Entry
Sixth Pokémon generation
Pokémon X These key collectors threaten any attackers by fiercely jingling their keys at them.
Pokémon Y 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.
Pokémon Omega Ruby These key collectors threaten any attackers by fiercely jingling their keys at them.
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire 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.
Seventh Pokémon generation
Pokémon Sun This even-tempered Pokémon has a habit of collecting keys. It will sneak into people's homes to steal their keys.
Pokémon Moon It inserts its horn into chinks in metal, absorbing metal ions. For some reason, it collects keys.
Pokémon Ultra Sun Although it's unclear why it collects keys, giving it a key makes Klefki very happy. However, it apparently only likes master keys.
Pokémon Ultra Moon Long ago it lived in mines, but once the minerals that make up its diet became scarcer, Klefki began appearing in human settlements.
Eighth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Sword This Pokémon is constantly collecting keys. Entrust a Klefki with important keys, and the Pokémon will protect them no matter what.
Pokémon Shield Klefki sucks in metal ions with the horn topping its head. It seems this Pokémon loves keys so much that its head needed to look like one, too.
Ninth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Scarlet Once it absorbs a key’s metal ions, it discards the key without a second thought. However, it will hang on to keys it favors for decades.
Pokémon Violet In the past, noble families entrusted their vault keys to a Klefki. They passed the Klefki down through the generations, taking good care of it.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A 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.

Reception[]

Klefki received a largely negative reception, though it gained the most attention. While multiple critics felt that it was a weird or worst Pokémon, other critics spoke more highly of Klefki, defending it and other inanimate object Pokémon. Critics also discussed how nostalgia impacts people's perception of Pokémon like Klefki being a new phenomenon, citing the Pokémon Magnemite from Pokémon Red and Blue. It also became a powerful Pokemon in competitive play, one of the best in Pokémon X and Y.
