Sunflora (Japanese: キマワリ Kimawari) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Sunkern when exposed to a Sun Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Sunflora's body is based on a sunflower. Every part of Sunflora’s body but its head is colored green, with its face being cream-colored. Its head is circular and sports sunflower-like yellow petals from the sides, although the back of its head is cream-colored. Sunflora has leaves extending like arms from its round body, and two toes on each foot.

Gender differences

Special abilities

Sunflora’s diverse movepool makes it a versatile species. For instance, Sunflora can use seed-based attacks such as Leech Seed, Bullet Seed, and Worry Seed as well as moves that rely on leaves, including Razor Leaf and Leaf Storm. Additionally, Sunflora can learn a range of HP-restoring moves such as Mega Drain or Ingrain and even acquire the weather-manipulating Sunny Day.

Trivia File:MeowthSunflora.png Meowth disguised as a Sunflora In Generation III, Sunflora is the only Template:Type2 that can learn Bullet Seed by level-up. Sunflora's base Speed is the same as Sunkern's. Sunflora shares the same species name with Espeon. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon. Despite being a Pokémon classified as the Sun Pokémon, it cannot learn Morning Sun by level up, only learning it as an egg move. Sunflora is Meowth's most frequently used Pokémon disguise. The number of Sunflora's petals is altered in between generations: On "upper layer", it has 8 petals in Generation II and Generation IV, while it's 7 petals in Generation III. On its "bottom layer" (as seen on backsprites), there are 7 petals in its Generation II and Generation III sprites (it also can be seen in Sunflora's Gold sprite), while 8 petals in Generation IV. Sunflora is tied with Roserade for the lowest base Defense of all fully-evolved Grass-types. Origin Sunflora is based on a sunflower. Name origin Sunflora's name is a combination of sun and flora, referring to the plants and sunlight. Its name is also reminiscent of Sunflower. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 黄 ki, yellow, 吉 ki, joy, or 曦 ki, sun, and 向日葵 himawari, sunflower. In other languages German: Sonnflora - From Sonne (sun) and flora. French: Heliatronc - From Helios and tronc (tree trunk). Korean: 해루미 Haerumi Chinese (Taiwan): 向日花怪 Xiàng Rì Huā Guài - Literally "Sun-facing flower freak". 向日 can be derived from 向日葵 Xiàng​rì​kuí (sunflower).
