Stats & Training
Speed and Sp. Atk carry most of Cutiefly's stat budget. HP's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Speed EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Nectar and pollen are its favorite fare. In fields of flowers, it gets into skirmishes with Butterfree over food.
Cutiefly can pick up the auras of living things. It skillfully reads those auras to predict its foes’ movements and make fools of them.
