Flabébé Weakness

Poison and Steel 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.

Pokedex Entry

It draws out and controls the hidden power of flowers. The flower Flabébé holds is most likely part of its body.

When it finds a flower it likes, it dwells on that flower its whole life long. It floats in the wind’s embrace with an untroubled heart.
