Few Pokemon outrun Flutter Mane without a Choice Scarf. Ghost/Fairy typing gives it solid coverage options. Normal, Fighting, and Dragon moves can't touch it, and only 2 types hit it super-effectively. Known as the Paradox Pokemon.
Flutter Mane's all-in on Sp. Atk at the expense of HP. The special lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 3 Sp. Atk and Sp. Def and Speed EVs and follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Flutter Mane Weakness
ExcellentFlutter Mane's Ghost/Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Ghost and Steel moves. It shrugs off Normal, Fighting, and Dragon-type attacks completely. Flutter Mane's special bulk (base 135 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
You won't breed Flutter Mane or evolve it further. This Ghost/Fairy type brings 570 total stats right out of the encounter.
How to Evolve
Booster Energy and Protosynthesis form the backbone. Flutter Mane invests max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs to play its special attacker role properly, and Timid nature pushes Speed higher. Moonblast handles the heavy lifting on offense. The remaining moves rounds it out.

Recommended Teammates
Without TMs, Flutter Mane's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get coverage across 8 types on top of Poltergeist and Moonblast for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.
