Type-wise, Floette takes extra damage from Poison and Steel. Dragon moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Floette's special bulk (base 98 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Moves

Breeding's the move. Camouflage and Captivate give Floette options it can't learn any other way, and Normal and Grass coverage already covers a decent range on top of Moonblast and Dazzling Gleam. The egg moves push it further.
