It draws out and controls the hidden power of flowers. The flower Flabébé holds is most likely part of its body.

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.

Flabébé Guide

  • Floette at level 19 is the mid-stage. Push through to Florges using a Shiny Stone for the final form. 303 BST right now won't cut it long-term.

  • Level 19 gets you Floette. Quick enough that Flabébé barely slows you down.

  • In X & Y, Flabébé at 303 BST is a stepping stone. Evolve it when you can for a real stat jump.

  • You can find Flabébé in X & Y. The Locations section has the full breakdown of routes and encounter details. It also appears in 5 other games across the series.

Game Availability

Introduced in X & Y, Flabebe has appeared in 6 games across 5 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
