Base Stats
Comfey picks flowers with its vine and decorates itself with them. For some reason, flowers won’t wither once they’re attached to a Comfey.
These Pokémon smell very nice. All Comfey wear different flowers, so each of these Pokémon has its own individual scent.
Comfey Sword & Shield Guide
In Sword & Shield, Comfey looks average on paper at 485 BST. But Natural Cure is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier pivot on our tier list. Drainingkiss with Life Orb is the standard set.
Comfey gets Natural Cure, Flower Veil, and Triage. But Natural Cure is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Comfey is a special attacker with base 82 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the pivot role.
For Sword & Shield, the core moveset is Drainingkiss, Storedpower, Synthesis, and Growth. Drainingkiss leads at 0% usage. Growth lets it set up before sweeping.
Game Availability
