Base Stats

This Pokémon can draw forth the power hidden within yellow flowers. This power then becomes the moves Floette uses to protect itself.
Floette Guide
Floette is meant to evolve into Florges. At 371 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.
Flower Veil is the go-to ability for Floette. It protects friendly grass Pokémon from having their stats lowered by other Pokémon. Its hidden ability Symbiosis can work in specific setups.
At base 52 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Floette is a special attacker with base 75 Sp. Atk.
You can run Floette through the first few routes without issues. 371 BST won't carry you far though. Get it to Florges as fast as you can.
Game Availability
Floette joined the series in X & Y and has been available in 6 titles so far. With 5 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
