Free switch-ins on Dragon moves make Florges useful in any team that needs that coverage. Only 2 weaknesses keeps it safe in most matchups. Part of the Gen 6 roster. Needs some investment to avoid getting outsped.

The stat bars tell the story: Sp. Def carries everything and Attack's dead weight. But this Garden Pokemon still yields 3 Sp. Def EVs per fight on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

It controls the flowers it grows. The petal blizzards that Florges triggers are overwhelming in their beauty and power.

Ultra Sun

Its life can span several hundred years. It’s said to devote its entire life to protecting gardens.

Florges Weakness

Good

Florges's Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Poison and Steel moves. 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.

Flowerveil isn't flashy, but it matters. Combined with Wikiberry for extra utility and a spread EV build EVs, Florges fills the special attacker slot reliably. Modest nature finishes the spread.

The natural movepool does the job, but Camouflage and Captivate from the egg pool give Florges something extra. Pair those with Moonblast and Dazzling Gleam for STAB and Grass and Normal coverage for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.

Can't catch Florges directly. Start with Flabébé at decent rates from the locations below, then evolve through a special method. The 3-stage chain from Flabébé to Florges is where the leveling time goes.

How to Obtain Florges in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

To get Florges, start by catching Flabébé through walking encounters at Lv. 9-57. The chain covers 2 catchable stages before reaching the final form.

  3. Florges
    Step 3Florges ✓

  • Florges works as a tank with 552 BST behind it. A-Tier on our list — a strong competitive pick. That 154 base Sp. Def does the heavy lifting.

  • 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.

  • Floette evolves into Florges using a Shiny Stone. Florges is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Flabebe. At 552 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.

  • 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. But the speed tells the real story — base 75 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many. Fits the tank role.

  • Florges appears in 6 games, including X & Y, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.

Since X & Y, Florges has been obtainable in 6 games. A Generation 6 debut means a shorter history, but Florges has appeared steadily across every generation since.
