Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Alcremie's spread. It leans special with Sp. Def out front. And you'll get 2 Sp. Def EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The moment it evolved, it took on a sweet and tart flavor. This is because of the way its cells spontaneously shifted during evolution.
The cells that compose its cream fluctuated suddenly during evolution, giving the cream a sweet and tart flavor.
Alcremie Weakness
Poison and Steel moves hit Alcremie for super-effective damage. The upside? Dragon-type moves can't touch it at all. Alcremie's special bulk (base 121 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Alcremie's Normal and Fighting coverage and more all comes from technical machines, built on top of Misty Explosion and Play Rough for same-type damage. Energy Ball and Giga Impact are the payoff moves.

How to Get Alcremie in Scarlet & Violet
