Sunflora
PvE Analysis
In an environment with many useful and kind of samey Grass-types, Sunflora fails to stand out among its peers. If you want a pure Grass-type attacker, then evenTangela and Meganium are better.
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
Razor Leaf + Leaf Storm | Best |
---|
Razor Leaf is superior to Bullet Seed due to having much higher DPS. Bullet Seed’s stronger energy gain doesn’t make up for this difference.
As far as Grass Type charged moves go, Leaf Storm is the strongest option, followed closely behind by Solar Beam. Petal Blizzard is a bit behind, but still okay overall.
- Sludge Bomb is useless for Sunflora on offense.
Best PvE Defensive Moveset
Razor Leaf + Sludge Bomb | Best |
---|
Razor Leaf does significantly more damage than Bullet Seed on defense.
Sludge Bomb is Sunflora’s only charge move with more than 1 bar, and it has better damage against its counters.
- Leaf Storm hits hard and is very hard to dodge, Solar Beam hits harder but is easy to dodge, and Petal Blizzard is just outclassed on defense.
PvP Analysis
Bullet Seed or Razor Leaf + Sludge Bomb and Leaf Storm |
---|
Sunflora's fast moves are polar opposites of each other; the former sports high energy generation and poor damage output, while the latter features strong STAB damage and pitiful energy gains. Either fast move could work, but keep in mind Sunflora's charge moves all require a lot of energy.
Sludge Bomb costs the least amount of energy, and is the only option available for typing coverage. Leaf Storm demands less energy than other Grass-type charge moves, and is very powerful for its cost, but applies a self-debuff on the user. Petal Blizzard is recommended over Solar Beam due to its cheaper energy cost, despite being slightly less efficient in terms of Damage Per Energy (DPE).

Sunflora as a mono-Grass type Pokemon competes with the numerous Grass-types in this league for a slot on your team, but unfortunately falls behind due to unimpressive bulk, and a cumbersome moveset. Various other Grass Pokemon can fulfill the Grass-type role much better than Sunflora. | |

Its stats are insufficient for serious use. | |

Whales and rhinos don't like Razor Leaf, but there's stronger Grass-types out there, such as Tapu Bulu and Zarude. |
