Florges (Japanese: フラージェス Florges) is a Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
It evolves from Floette when exposed to a Shiny Stone. It is the final form of Flabébé. Florges also has five separate forms, each named for the color of its flower: Red Flower, Yellow Flower, Orange Flower, Blue Flower, and White Flower.
Biology
Florges is a slender Pokémon with a white upper body and a green lower body. Its head is rounded with a pointed, upturned nose; long, teardrop-shaped ears; and dark eyes with lengthy, green, plantlike lashes. Surrounding its head is an ornate bouquet of flowers that can be red, yellow, orange, blue, or white. It has slender arms with three tiny fingers and two black diamond shapes on its chest. Its lower body resembles a mermaid's tail with two large leaves sprouting above the tailfin. It is a female-only species with no male counterpart.
Florges can live for several hundred years and devotes its life to protecting gardens. It claims beautiful flower gardens as its territory and can control the flowers it grows. It also gains power by basking in the energy emitted by flowering plants. A Florges's flower garden is said to contain healing properties for both body and spirit. In the past, it was asked to create flower gardens for castles. Because of this, Florges was popular with castle governors. Florges can live for up to several hundred years, over the course of which it will spend protecting gardens. While Florges can be compassionate, it will hunt down anyone who vandalizes the flower garden it takes care of, punishing them without mercy, even if said person begs for it. It can fire beams similar to batteries of artillery.
Prior to Generation VII, Florges and its pre-evolved forms were the only known Pokémon that could have Flower Veil and Symbiosis as Abilities.
Forms
Florges has five forms: Red Flower, Yellow Flower, Orange Flower, Blue Flower and White Flower.
Evolution
Florges evolves from Floette and is the final form of Flabébé.

Form data
Florges have five separate forms, each with one of five different flower colors: red, yellow, orange, blue, and white. The flower color is maintained through evolution from Floette and cannot be changed.
In Pokémon X and Y, Flabébé appear in the wild in flowers, with the colors of Flabébé's flower available depending on the flower patch (although each flower patch has multiple Flabébé flower colors).
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, wild Yellow Flower Flabébé appear in Melemele Meadow, with Orange and White Flower Flabébé appearing when called as allies in an SOS Battle; wild Red Flower Floette appear in Ula'ula Meadow, Orange and White Flower Floette appear when called as allies in an SOS Battle; and wild Blue Flower Floette appear in Poni Meadow and do not call for help.
In Generation VI, as only Red, Yellow, and Blue Flower Floette can be caught in the Friend Safari, it is impossible to obtain a White or Orange Flower Flabébé, Floette, or Florges with the Hidden Ability Symbiosis. In Generation VII, all forms of the Flabébé evolutionary line can have their Hidden Ability, though the Blue Flower forms cannot be caught with it and must be transferred with it from a prior game in order to have it.

Main article: Florges (TCG)Trivia
Origin
Florges appears to be based on fairies and nymphs, in particular Anthousai due to its floral "hair". Its ornate, flowery "hair" may also be a reference to the 18th century pouf hairstyle, which was notable in that the style would commonly use decorative items within the hair itself to convey mood and uniqueness. Its body structure resembles that of the hyacinth flower, which has large sturdy leaves projecting from the base of the stalk. The fluffy flowers on its head also look similar to lilacs. Its design may also draw inspiration from mermaids.
Name origin
Florges may be a combination of flower or flora and gorgeous.
