Florges X & Y Guide
In X & Y, Florges works as a wall with 552 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in X & Y for the right team. Moonblast with Leftovers is the standard set.
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 wall role.
In X & Y, run Moonblast, Wish, Aromatherapy, and Calm Mind on Florges. Moonblast is the most common pick at 0% 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.
