Comfey Best Moveset
Fairy at 82 Sp. Atk and 100 Speed with AbilityTriage giving +3 priority to all healing moves. MoveDraining Kiss at +3 priority heals while dealing Fairy TermStab damage before any other priority. Held ItemLife Orb with NatureModest pushes the healing-offense cycle. The moveset fires priority healing attacks that sustain it through any exchange. B-Tier through Triage utility.
Triage gave +3 priority to healing moves in Gen VII (Sun & Moon). Draining Kiss healed Comfey before almost anything could move. Priority healing was unique and annoying to face.
Special Tank Moveset
- Draining Kiss
- Calm Mind
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power Fire
Recommended Teammates
Dropped in Gen VIII (Sword & Shield). Triage Draining Kiss still healed first, but 52 offenses couldn't deal enough damage to matter. Priority healing that barely scratched opponents.
Special Tank Moveset
- Draining Kiss
- Stored Power
- Synthesis
- Growth
Recommended Teammates
Rose between tiers in Gen IX (Scarlet & Violet). Calm Mind boosted the damage, and Triage priority meant Comfey healed faster than opponents could deal damage. The slow-burn sweeper.

Evolution
What you see is what you get. Comfey sits outside any evolution chain, so focus on the egg moves and plenty of partners from one egg group. Eggs take an average time to hatch. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed Comfey easily with 89 breeding partners from the Grass egg group.
Shiny Comfey
Slightly different pastel flowers on Comfey. The lei is already a rainbow of soft tones, so nudging those colors around doesn't create much contrast. Cute design, forgettable shiny.

4 of 4 VerifiedHow do we research these odds?
We check every game where a shiny is possible, then rank each one by the best method available in that game, so the row at the top is the fastest route overall.
Odds marked verified are cross-checked against multiple independent sources before we publish them. Where a rate is not yet confirmed we mark the row pending rather than guess a number.

Also Obtainable In:
Pokemon transfers only go forward through generations, never backward. Direct cross-gen trades aren't supported.
Comfey weaves through the tall grass at a pair of spots and can also come to you as a gift, ranging widely from level 19 up to 55 in both versions.
Best Locations to Catch Comfey in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
Walking and gift encounters at Lv. 19-55 across 6 spots for Comfey. Sorted by progression so you can see what's reachable at your current point in the game.
Comfey drifts through a single stretch of tall grass between levels 18 and 21, and the little flower loop turns up just the same whether your cartridge reads Sun or Moon.
Best Locations to Catch Comfey in Sun & Moon
Catching Comfey takes patience. The 3 walking encounters at Lv. 18-21 all have low spawn rates, so pick one location and stay put for the best odds.
Base Stats
Nothing fancy in Comfey's spread. It leans special with Sp. Def out front. And you'll get 2 Sp. Def EVs per KO for it. Follows a fast 800K XP curve.
These Pokémon smell very nice. All Comfey wear different flowers, so each of these Pokémon has its own individual scent.
Comfey Event Distributions
Comfey reaches players through several Mystery Gift distributions, though it is far from a regular.

Comfey Guide
Natural Cure is the hidden ability. It cures any major status ailment upon switching out. Worth hunting for if you want Comfey to compete at a higher level.
Comfey plays as a pivot. It outspeeds most threats, so it can pressure opponents before they move.
Comfey pairs best with Great Tusk. Great Tusk has Decent synergy and covers what Comfey can't handle on its own.
Modest is the go-to nature for Comfey. That's +Sp. Atk / -Attack. Pair it with 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA EVs. Fits the pivot role.
Game Availability
Since Sun & Moon, Comfey has been obtainable in 4 games. A Generation 7 debut means a shorter history, but Comfey has appeared steadily across every generation since.
