It controls the flowers it grows. The petal blizzards that Florges triggers are overwhelming in their beauty and power.

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.

Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Florges Best Moveset

Flowerveil isn't flashy, but it matters. Combined with Wikiberry for extra utility and spread EVs, Florges fills the special attacker slot reliably. Modest nature finishes the spread.

The natural movepool does the job, but Camouflage and Captivate from the egg pool give Florges something extra. Pair those with Moonblast and Dazzling Gleam for STAB and Grass and Normal coverage for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.

How to Get Florges in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

Can't catch Florges directly. Start with Flabébé at decent rates from the locations below, then evolve through a special method. The 3-stage chain from Flabébé to Florges is where the leveling time goes.

How to Obtain Florges in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

To get Florges, start by catching Flabébé through walking encounters at Lv. 9-57. The chain covers 2 catchable stages before reaching the final form.

Florges Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Florges works as a tank with 552 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Protect with Wikiberry is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Protect, Helpinghand, Moonblast, and Energy Ball on Florges. Protect is the most common pick at 16% usage. Moonblast provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

Since X & Y, Florges has been obtainable in 6 games. A Generation 6 debut means a shorter history, but Florges has appeared steadily across every generation since.
