Speed and Sp. Atk carry most of Flittle's stat budget. HP's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Speed EV. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Flittle’s toes levitate about half an inch above the ground because of the psychic power emitted from the frills on the Pokémon’s belly.
It spends its time running around wastelands. If anyone steals its beloved berries, it will chase them down and exact its revenge.
Flittle's Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Standard number of weaknesses for the Psychic typing.
| Damage | Types |
