Stats & Training
Flabébé's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Def leads, Attack trails, 0 stats clear the bar. Easy to catch and worth 1 Sp. Def EV, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
This Flabébé rides a yellow flower. The Pokémon is defenseless and vulnerable before it has found and received power from a flower.
It unleashes a variety of moves by drawing forth the power hidden within flowers. This Pokémon is particularly fond of yellow flowers.
Flabébé Weakness
Poison and Steel moves hit Flabébé for super-effective damage. The upside? Dragon-type moves can't touch it at all. Flabébé's special bulk (base 79 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
