Florges

With an excellent defensive typing, a great set of resistances, reliable recovery in Synthesis and Wish, and a solid supporting movepool, Florges has long been a staple in the UU tier. Boasting solid defensive stats, albeit a rather poor base Defense, Florges also has an often-overlooked Special Attack stat and a good offensive STAB move in Moonblast. However, Florges grants a free switch to several threatening Pokemon such as various Steel- and Fire-types. It is also setup fodder for many common setup sweepers and often falls victim to common stallbreaking tactics such as Trick and Taunt. In addition, Florges's abilities have no use in the singles format. Finally, it faces heavy competition from Sylveon, who passes larger Wishes and hits significantly harder thanks to access to Pixilate Hyper Voice.
