Sunflora is a Grass-type Pokemon with a stat total of 501. With its high Attack stat (185), Sunflora is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Watch out for Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, Poison-type moves when using Sunflora. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Sunflora's performance.

Sunflora's moves get a damage boost in Sunny weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 50,000 Stardust and 50 Candy. With 4 charged moves available, a second move gives Sunflora much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Sunflora is a Grass-type Pokemon with base stats of 185/135/181 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,421. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Sunflora may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Sunflora in Pokemon GO?
Sunflora has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Sunflora for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Sunflora's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Sunflora is weak to Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, Poison-type moves. On the other hand, Sunflora resists Electric, Grass, Ground, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Sunflora effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Sunflora's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Sunflora's maximum CP is 2,421 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,141 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Sunflora's CP is calculated from its base stats: 185 Attack, 135 Defense, and 181 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Sunflora caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,223 CP, or 1,529 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Sunflora?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Sunflora has the following CP at key levels: 918 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,223 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,529 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,421 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Sunflora, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Sunflora ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Sunflora in Pokemon GO?
Sunflora is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Sunkern with 50 Candy + Sun Stone). Sunflora can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Sunflora be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Sunflora's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Sunflora availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
