Florges is a Pokémon whose green lower body resembles a mermaid's tail with two large leaves blooming on either side of the flukes. Its upper body is white and slender, with sylphlike arms that end in three dainty fingers; it has two black, diamond-like shapes on each side of its svelte torso. Florges's head is rounded with a pointed, upturned nose and long teardrop-shaped ears, while its dark-colored eyes are framed by lengthy green lashes. It no longer carries a single flower like its pre-evolution did, but instead a large bouquet of ornate flowers around its head. The color of its flowers depends on whether it held a red, yellow, orange, blue, or white flower as a Flabébé. Florges claims well-tended flower gardens as its territory, and it basks in energy emitted from flowers to obtain power. It is a female-only species.
