Milcery doesn't have much going for it on its own — the stats just aren't there. The payoff is Alcremie, and getting there is worth the grind. Dragon moves can't touch it, and only 2 types hit it super-effectively. Known as the Cream Pokemon.

Sp. Def and Sp. Atk carry most of Milcery's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Easy to catch and yields 1 Sp. Def EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

Milcery hasn't fully evolved, but Eviolite's 50% bulk boost makes it viable anyway. Calm nature with a spread EV build EVs shapes the defensive spread, and Aromaveil adds utility.

Best Milcery Moveset

  • Draining KissSTAB
  • Acid Armor
  • Stored Power
  • Dazzling GleamSTAB

Leveling does the heavy lifting. Milcery picks up Dazzling Gleam and Draining Kiss along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add Normal and Psychic coverage, but the foundation's already strong by then.

No wild encounters for Milcery in Scarlet & Violet. It's available in Sword and can be transferred over. The details below show where to find it.

Milcery is not available as a wild encounter in this game.

Also found in:

  • Milcery is meant to evolve into Alcremie. At 270 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.

  • Milcery's biggest threats include Salazzle (Poison) and Aegislash (Steel), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 34 Speed, Milcery won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Milcery evolves into Alcremie through a special method. Milcery is the base form of this evolutionary line.

  • Sweet Veil is the go-to ability for Milcery. It prevents friendly Pokémon from sleeping. Its hidden ability Aroma Veil can work in specific setups.

  • Base 34 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Milcery is leaning toward the special side (base 50 Sp. Atk). Defensively? Fragile — can't afford to take many hits.

  • Milcery can be found in Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield.

Milcery joined the series in Sword & Shield and has been available in 2 titles so far. With 2 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
