Stats & Training
The stat bars tell the story: Sp. Def carries everything and Attack's dead weight. But this Garden Pokemon still yields 3 Sp. Def EVs per fight on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It claims exquisite flower gardens as its territory, and it obtains power from basking in the energy emitted by flowering plants.
In times long past, governors of castles would invite Florges to create flower gardens to embellish the castle domains.
Florges Weakness
Florges's Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Poison and Steel. It shrugs off Dragon-type attacks completely. Florges's special bulk (base 154 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 |

How to Obtain Florges in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
Florges Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Florges works as a tank with 552 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. Moonblast with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Roserade (Poison) and Scizor (Steel) when using Florges. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Florges has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Flower Veil protects friendly grass Pokémon from having their stats lowered by other Pokémon. That's the one you want on Florges. Symbiosis is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Florges is a special attacker with base 112 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 75 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the tank role.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Florges has answers, but so do you. Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Physical attackers can break through.
