They're all maxed modest, I might have copied the Nidoqueen calc short of the 2, but these are all done at 252 evs Modest nature with Specs.
Can't believe I forgot about the Bronzedong when I made that list, guess I havent been exposed to it enough to remember it :[Bronzong to the rescue:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Floette (No Move) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Bronzong: 118-140 (34.9 - 41.4%) -- 73.3% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Laughs off Psychic/Grass/ HP Ground as well and 2hko's with Gyro Ball
Yes, in January Exploud was UU. I'm not sure about this month.I feel that Floette-E is like Exploud in that it has a STAB 140 BP special move it can hit anything with to punch big holes in the anything and in my opinion it shouldn't be doing anything else.
Unlike Exploud, it can hit some things super effectively for when it matters, and has better stats, I think. Unlike Exploud, it has recoil on its nuke.
Well, Exploud is UU, right?
Floette is not even eligible for Little Cup, Flabebé is. Maybe you thought about Middle Cup.I'm not an expert in LC, but this thing will be banned there.
Legendaries have 580+ BST. Floette-E is basically just a non-evolving Pokemon like Emolga or Durant rather than a mid-evolution like regular Floette.To be honest I would consider AZ's Floette a legendary in disguise. The fact she can't evolve and Eviolite doesn't work only cements the fact she's one.
Have you not played XY?What exactly does "Light of Ruin" mean though? It sounds cool, but it's kinda odd for a name.
So that's why it was shaped like a flower.Have you not played XY?
It'sthe ultimate weapon.
Well it's BST is only 551, which, while damn high, is the lowest of any legendary except Phione... if you count Phione. Plus, Florges, Arcanine, and Archeops + Slaking, (who have nerfing abilities but I digress,) technically have higher stats, and they're not legends. So it's... sort of a legend?To be honest I would consider AZ's Floette a legendary in disguise. The fact she can't evolve and Eviolite doesn't work only cements the fact she's one.
It is 50% recoil, but lets not be narrow minded here: it still gets Moonblast, which, with 95 base power and STAB off of base 125 special attack, still does a shitton. Consider LoR a last resort kamikaze button.You guys are waaaaay overhyping Light of Ruin. If it does indeed have Head Smash's recoil rate of 50% then, in tandem with only 290 HP, it's basically a suicide move. If you hit Mandibuzz you lose over 70% of your health. Even a low HP mon like Lucario robs you of about half of your HP.
Sorry, not worth it. 33% recoil or bust.
inb4 geomancy + oblivion wing event.Floette-E will most likely be more or less what November Blue said: a faster Gardevoir with a smaller movepool. Not the best thing out there, but at least it's usable.
Now, to wait on the event and see if she gets any special move (and I doubt she won't, just fucking look at that Yveltal flower and Xerneas color scheme)...
Diancie is actually appearing in the same movie as xerneas and yveltal though.inb4 geomancy + oblivion wing event.
That would be fucking amazing, though. Boost with Geomancy, nuke things with + 2 Light of Ruin, restore health with Oblivion Wing, and use HP Fire for Steels. That sounds really scary. Though it's just theorymoning, it does make sense to think that something gets the signature moves of the box legendaries since Victini got all of them last gen, and Floette makes more sense than Diancie, Hoopa, or Volcanion as a candidate for Xerneas/Yveltal's moves.
honestly i would probably run moonblast over LOR on a geomancy set. the raw power of LOR sounds tempting, but recoil eating away at half your HP every time you kill something really sucks, especially if you're trying to sweep. all that recoil will make it very easy to snipe floette with priority, especially with that low defense.inb4 geomancy + oblivion wing event.

Floette is deeply related to Xerneas/Yveltal, though. One could even say she's the "source" of both of them (the three's relation to the ultimate weapon hasn't been fully explained yet).Diancie is actually appearing in the same movie as xerneas and yveltal though.
