Stats & Training
Aromatisse's built to absorb hits, not race for knockouts. Special bulk with HP doing the heavy lifting. And the medium-fast 1M XP curve means it won't take forever to bring up, worth 2 HP EVs.
The scent that constantly emits from its fur is so powerful that this Pokémon’s companions will eventually lose their sense of smell.
The scents Aromatisse can produce range from sweet smells that bolster allies to foul smells that sap an opponent’s will to fight.
Aromatisse Weakness
Aromatisse's Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Poison and Steel. It shrugs off Dragon-type attacks completely. With 101 HP and balanced defenses, Aromatisse can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Poison, Steel |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fighting, Bug, Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Dragon |

Aromatisse Guide
In Sword & Shield, Aromatisse works as a support with 462 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Sword & Shield's meta. Aromaticmist with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
In Sword & Shield, watch for Roserade (Poison) and Scizor (Steel) when using Aromatisse. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 29 Speed, Aromatisse won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Healer has a 30% chance of curing each adjacent ally of any major status ailment after each turn. That's the one you want on Aromatisse. Aroma Veil is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Aromatisse is leaning toward the special side (base 99 Sp. Atk). Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 29 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the support role.
In Sword & Shield, run Aromaticmist, Healpulse, Trickroom, and Aromatherapy on Aromatisse. Aromaticmist is the most common pick at 25% usage. This set covers the support role with a mix of damage and utility.
