Sunflora is a plantPokémon with a sunflower-like design, having a green trunk and limbs. Its head is circular and cream-colored, with yellow petals growing along the rim. The petals become more vivid as the weather becomes warmer. Sunflora's face has two eyes that appear perpetually closed, and a thin line running vertical beside each eye. Sunflora has leaves extending like arms from its round body and two toes on each foot.
Sunflora converts sunlight into nutrition. Because of this, it tends to pursue sunlight and is always looking in the direction of the sun. While the sun is up, it moves around in a hectic manner. When the sun sets, it comes to a complete stop and closes its petals. In addition to sunlight, Sunflora needs plenty of water. Sunflora is rarely seen in the wild, but it can sometimes be found in temperate grassy meadows.
In Zoroark: Master of Illusions, multiple Sunflora were living in Crown City. One took part in surrounding Zorua in the park along with the other Pokémon with the intention of attacking him in retribution for what Zoroark did to the city. Before a fight could break out, the Sunkern, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed down by Celebi.
Seven Sunflora appeared in The Power of Us, with six under the ownership of different Trainers and the seventh being wild.
In The Last Battle VI, Gold's Sunkern, Sunbo, evolved into Sunflora due to the rocks in Ilex Forest reflecting solar energy like the Sun Stone. As a Sunflora, she has continued her support role in Gold's party, mainly using Sunny Day to power up Exbo's Fire-type moves.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: In addition to what happened in Explorers of Time and Darkness, there is a special episode titled Today's "Oh My Gosh". It shows Sunflora attempting a mission issued to her by Magnezone and Wigglytuff, which is to capture a Haunter, also known as 'The Invincible Haunter'. She and Loudred defeat Haunter at the end of the special episode.
