This is a thread to discuss florges use in the OU metagame. It isn't here to showcase your personal experiences rather to come to a collective agreement among many players. The reason there is "hate" towards florges is that Sylveon or clefable can do everything better than florges. Hate is a terrible word to describe it. You seem offended that one of your favorites isn't being used much in higher tiers. Lots of things can sweep teams if your opponent is dumb enough to let it set up and not have something to check or phase it out. Heck, I've seen even magikarp and sunkern sweep unprepared teams. My point is that your teams should be built around defeating good opponents rather than poor ones and A good player seeing florges in team preview will probably breathe a big sigh of relief because it gives him a better chance of winning.
