Stats & Training
Sp. Def and Sp. Atk carry most of Floette's stat budget. Attack's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 2 Sp. Def EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The flower it’s holding can no longer be found blooming anywhere. It’s also thought to contain terrifying power.
Terrifying energy is concealed within its ominous flower, but Floette still swings it about innocently.
Floette Weakness
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.

At base 52 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Floette is a special attacker with base 75 Sp. Atk.
