Florges is one of PU's best Wish passers thanks to its incredible special bulk, high Special Attack even without investment, and great defensive typing, allowing it to take on threats such as Scrafty, Wo-Chien, and Flamigo. Synthesis gives Florges reliable recovery, although Protect synergizes well with Wish and allows Florges to scout out attacks from Choice-locked Pokemon such as Staraptor and Flamigo. Psychic Noise lets Florges disrupt walls such as Gastrodon and Bellibolt by preventing them from recovering while also being a decent coverage option against Poison-types such as Salazzle and Toxtricity. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Florges to ignore entry hazards, although Leftovers is an option to give small amounts of recovery that can be helpful in tandem with Protect. The given EV spread allows Florges to outspeed Wo-Chien and Milotic while investing as much into Defense as possible to take advantage of its valuable resistances to Fighting and Dark. Tera Poison grants Florges a resistance to Grass- and Poison-type attacks from Pokemon like Rotom-C, Salazzle, and Skuntank.
Florges finds itself on bulky balance teams that like its ability to Wish pass while also being a great mixed wall. Walls lacking recovery like Gligar, Mudsdale, and Bronzong appreciate Florges's ability to keep them healthy throughout the game. Florges can struggle with Poison- and Steel-type Pokemon like Galarian Slowbro, Skuntank, and Copperajah, (AC) which it can't Wish pass safely against, so Pokemon that can check these threats and also benefit from Florges's Wish passing capabilities such as Golurk, Mudsdale, and Arcanine make good partners. Florges's ability to check Pokemon like Scrafty and Kilowattrel makes it an excellent partner for Pokemon that struggle against these threats, such as Decidueye and Zoroark. Even though it resists Fighting-type attacks, Florges still appreciates other Fighting-resistant teammates like Galarian Slowbro and Altaria to not be its team's sole switch-in to them.The latter also takes advantage of setup sweepers Florges can't handle on its own, like Decidueye.

Florges is one of PU's best Choice Scarf users thanks to its high Special Attack stat, strong and spammable STAB move, Trick, and decent bulk for a revenge killer. Synthesis allows Florges to recover health against Pokemon it forces out such as Bombirdier, Wo-Chien, and Altaria; however, it is risky if Florges has not given away its Choice Scarf with Trick. Calm Mind makes Florges become a setup sweeper after using Trick to give away its Choice Scarf. Tera Blast should be used with Tera Groundto hit Pokemon that otherwise wall it such as Galarian Slowbro and Coalossal while also providing defensive utility against Pokemon like Skuntank. Psychic is a decent mid-ground (Add hyphen) against Poison-types such as Salazzle and Toxtricity and comes with the benefit of targeting these two without Terastallizing. Finally, Wish gives Florges utility by allowing it to help heal its teammates' (Add apostrophe) HP. Tera Fairy boosts Moonblast to incredible amounts of power, allowing Florges to 2HKO Bellibolt and OHKO Kilowattrel. Florges can either opt for an EV spread of 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe or use a more bulky EV spread of 252 HP / 24 Def / 232 Spe, which allows it to have enough Speed to outpace Jolteon and Adamant Bombirdier as well as Skuntank after Trick, and it can pass bigger Wishes to its teammates. Finally, Tera Poison is a purely defensive Tera type that allows Florges to take attacks from Pokemon like Salazzle, Decidueye, and Duraludon.
Choice Scarf Florges finds itself mostly on offense and balance teams looking for a reliable form of speed control that can disrupt balance teams thanks to Trick. Florges's unqiue trait of good bulk while still retaining great offensive pressure makes it a more specialized Choice Scarf user than other choices such as Hoopa and Flamigo. Florges can't reliably break though Steel- and Poison-types such as Bronzong, Galarian Slowbro, and Copperajah without Terastallizing, so Pokemon that can take these threats on like Zoroark, Mudsdale, and Paldean Tauros-F all make good partners. Florges's ability to revenge kill Pokemon like Paldean Tauros-W and Zoroark allows slower wallbreakers that struggle with these faster threats such as Golurk, Rotom-H, and Decidueye to be more potent attackers. Since it can't run Heavy-Duty Boots and will likely switch in often, Florges appreciates entry hazard control from Pokemon like Altaria, Coalossal, and Tastugiri so it can become more threatening. In turn, Florges removes their checks such as Ambipom and Bombirdier.
