Appearance
Floette is a small, humanoid Pokemon with a white and green color scheme. It can also be found with five different colors to obtain as Floette can have a red, yellow, orange, blue, and white flower. Most of its body is green and white with yellow bands around its head where two twintails of hair fall down sideways. There are also two large green antennae on top of Floette’s eyes. Floette is a small Pokemon at only 8 inches, or 0.2 meters, tall.
Behavior
Floette will spend time flying around and looking for flowers to take care of. The flower it holds can give Floette power and the prettier the flower, the more power it can obtain. It loves flowers and will hold disdain for anyone who tramples a flower. The different colors of flower that Floette can hold have no difference in terms of their behavior. The Pokedex mentions that Floette will perform an elegant dance to celebrate the blooming of flowers.
Strengths and Weaknesses
As the second evolution of its evolution line, Floette is not a powerful Pokemon. It has the makings of a special defensive Pokemon, but it lacks a strong health pool to keep it in prolonged battles. Floette is also slower than average, but it has a good special lineup of stats. It is much stronger with its special attack and defense than its physical stats. As a monotype fairy Pokemon, Floette takes 2x damage from poison and steel type moves. It is immune to dragon type moves, and will resist fighting, bug, and dark type moves.
Best Moveset
There is little reason to consider using Floette in competitive play. If you are interested in this Pokemon, consider using its final evolution Florges instead. Florges can be utilized as a defensive and supportive Pokemon. With its high special stats and threatening potential, Florges can be a menacing Pokemon. Use Leftovers, as a held item, to keep Florges healthy and the Flower Veil ability to provide more support to your team. Consider running Wish, Synthesis/Protect, Moonblast, and Aromatherapy. This set is aimed to keep your team healthy and status free. Use Wish and Aromatherapy to sustain your team, and Moonblast to threaten your opponents. You can pick between Synthesis and Protect as your method of keeping Florges alive.

How to Catch Floette in Pokemon Go?
Unfortunately, Floette is not currently available for capture in Pokemon Go. While some generation six Pokemon have been released into the game, the developers are likely trying to integrate a system to support each color of Floette. There is no telling when exactly this will appear, but it is likely that the developers will finish generation six Pokemon before moving onto the next generations. Once Floette is released into the game, you can expect Floette to spawn in the wild at a boosted rate near landmarks, places of interest, and grassy areas. Until Floette is released, we will not know for sure if it will be available in raid battles.
