Florges Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Florges works as a wall with 552 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon for the right team. Moonblast with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Roserade (Poison) and Scizor (Steel) when using Florges. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Florges has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Flower Veil protects friendly grass Pokémon from having their stats lowered by other Pokémon. That's the one you want on Florges. Symbiosis is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Florges is a special attacker with base 112 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 75 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the wall role.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Moonblast, Wish, Protect, and Toxic on Florges. Moonblast is the most common pick at 0% usage. Moonblast provides reliable STAB damage.
