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.
It flutters around fields of flowers and cares for flowers that are starting to wilt. It draws out the hidden power of flowers to battle.
When the flowers of a well-tended flower bed bloom, it appears and celebrates with an elegant dance.
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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Poison, Steel |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fighting, Bug, Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Dragon |

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.
