What came first, keys or Klefki? Join us as we explore exciting questions like these and more on Beyond the Ball! Follow along with the entries below:
X:
These key collectors threaten any attackers by fiercely jingling their keys at them.
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.
Sun:
This even-tempered Pokémon has a habit of collecting keys. It will sneak into people’s homes to steal their keys.
Moon:
It inserts its horn into chinks in metal, absorbing metal ions. For some reason, it collects keys.
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.
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.
Sword:
This Pokémon is constantly collecting keys. Entrust a Klefki with important keys, and the Pokémon will protect them no matter what.
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.
BTB:
This metal sucking little goblin has formed an almost religious fascination with human-made keys. Give it keys because it will just steal them anyway.
