Special Sweeper Sunflora (Chlorophyll)
Sunflora is a wonderful Special Sweeper. It's purpose is to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. White Herb will reset Sunflora's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Leaf Storm). Focus Sash helps protect Sunflora from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Sunflora's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Chlorophyll, if sunny day is active Sunflora's speed is doubled.
♦ Petal Dance is a special STAB-boosted 120-base power Grass-type move (lasts 2-3 turns. confuses your Sunflora afterwards).
♦ Sludge Bomb is a special 90-base power Poison-type move (30% chance to poison the target).
♦ Earth Power is a special 90-base power Ground-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage).
♦ Hyper Beam is a special 150-base power Normal-type move (Sunflora cannot move next turn).
♦ Round is a special 60-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if others used round this turn).
