Flaaffy Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Flaaffy isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Ampharos to unlock its full potential. At 365 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Flaaffy's biggest threats include Golem (Ground), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Static is the go-to ability for Flaaffy. It has a 30% chance of paralyzing attacking Pokémon on contact. Its hidden ability Plus can work in specific setups.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Flaaffy fills the balanced role. It's a special attacker with base 80 Sp. Atk. Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
