Despite its terrible design, Klefki has cemented itself as a staple on Fairy teams due to its incredible defensive typing allowing it to take Poison- and Steel-type attacks from foes such as Thundurus-T and Scizor. Dual screens allow Klefki to support setup sweepers such as Belly Drum Azumarill and Calm Mind users like Clefable, Tapu Koko, and Tapu Fini. Spikes chips down foes, allowing teammates such as Tapu Lele and Tapu Koko to wallbreak more effectively. Thunder Wave cripples faster foes such as Volcarona, Cinderace, and Spectrier, making it easier for teammates to revenge kill them. Fairy Lock traps foes such as Excadrill, Galarian Slowking, and Swampert, allowing them to be reliably dealt with the following turn. Once such threats are dealt with, teammates such as Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, and Tapu Koko can sweep matchups like Ground, Poison, and Water with ease. Tapu Bulu and Azumarill help with Ground-types such as Nidoking and Landorus-T; Azumarill also deals with Fire-types, while Tapu Bulu provides passive recovery with Grassy Terrain.

Despite its terrible design, Klefki has cemented itself as a staple on Fairy teams due to its incredible defensive typing that allows it to take Poison- and Steel-type attacks from foes such as Nihilego [Nihilego almost never carries Poison STAB, use a different example like Thundurus-Therian.] and Excadrill Scizor. Dual Screens allows Klefki to support setup sweepers such as Belly Drum Azumarill and Calm Mind users like Clefable, Tapu Koko, and Tapu Fini. while they setup, while Spikes is a convenient way to chip foes, allowing teammates such as Tapu Lele and Tapu Koko to wallbreak more effectively. Thunder Wave allows Klefki to slow foes such as Volcarona, Cinderace, and Spectrier making way for teammates to revenge kill them easier. Fairy Lock traps foes such as Excadrill so teammates can revenge kill it easily. [Would prefer if you could emphasize more on the uses of Fairy Lock here since that's the most unique part about this set. Fairy Lock + Azumarill/Tapu Bulu help get rid of threats like Excadrill, Slowking-G, and Swampert. With them dealt with, teammates like Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, and Tapu Koko have little to no trouble sweeping in the respective matchups.] Calm Mind Tapu Fini is a great teammate for Klefki as it can setup with ease thanks to Klefki's screens. Swords Dance Tapu Bulu is a good teammate for Klefki as it is able to setup with ease thanks to its great bulk supported by Klefki's screens. [Already mentioned this earlier when talking about screens. Instead, talk about how Tapu Bulu and Azumarill help with Ground-types that threaten Klefki and Azumarill bops Fire-types. Minor detail but if you can fit it with the character limit, Grassy Terrain from Bulu also helps with no reliable recovery issue for Klefki.] Tapu Lele and Tapu Koko are also good partners for Klefki, as they are both able to use Kelfki's spikes to help them wallbreak. [Moved this to the previous mention about Spikes.]

Tag me when this is implemented, I'll take another look.
