Florges Weakness
Florges's Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Poison and Steel. It shrugs off Dragon-type attacks completely. Florges's special bulk (base 154 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Poison, Steel |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fighting, Bug, Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Dragon |
