Mid-stage Pokemon like Flabébé rarely see competitive play outside of special formats. It's a waypoint on the road to its final form, which is where the real potential kicks in. Known as the Single Bloom Pokemon.
Flabébé's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Def leads, Attack trails, 0 stats clear the bar. Easy to catch and worth 1 Sp. Def EV, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

Pokedex Entries
This Flabébé rides a yellow flower. The Pokémon is defenseless and vulnerable before it has found and received power from a flower.
Scarlet
It unleashes a variety of moves by drawing forth the power hidden within flowers. This Pokémon is particularly fond of yellow flowers.
Violet
Flabébé Weakness
Good
Poison and Steel-type moves hit Flabébé for super-effective damage. The upside? Dragon-type moves can't touch it at all. Flabébé's special bulk (base 79 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
Breed with Flabébé to get Flabebe eggs using 66 partners from the Fairy egg group.

Psychic and Normal coverage gives Flabébé answers even while choice-locked. Choice Scarf provides speed patching through item lock, and a spread EV build EVs with Flowerveil mean every prediction that lands hits hard.
Without TMs, Flabébé's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get Normal and Grass coverage and more on top of Moonblast and Alluring Voice for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.

Flabébé develops a solid moveset just through leveling. Energy Ball and Solar Beam show up naturally, and the progression handles both STAB and utility without leaning on TMs for the core attacks.

Without breeding, Flabébé misses out on Camouflage and Captivate. That's 4 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Moonblast and Dazzling Gleam, with Normal and Grass coverage rounding things out.

Flabébé can't be caught in Sun & Moon. Bring it over from X, Ultra Sun, or Scarlet instead. The encounter info below covers the source games.
Flabébé is not available as a wild encounter in this game.
Flabébé isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. At 303 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
Watch for Nidoking (Poison) and Ferrothorn (Steel) when using Flabébé. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Flabébé evolves into Floette at level 19. Flabébé is the base form in a 3-stage evolutionary line.
Flower Veil protects friendly grass Pokémon from having their stats lowered by other Pokémon — that's the one you want on Flabébé. Symbiosis is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Flabébé fills the balanced role. It's a mixed attacker — base 38 Attack and 61 Sp. Atk. Base 42 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's fragile — can't afford to take many hits.
Flabébé appears in 6 games, including X & Y, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.
Introduced in X & Y, Flabebe has appeared in 6 games across 4 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
