What Ever Happened to AZ’s Floette?

by

Pokémon X & Pokémon Y may have been released over four years ago, but a mystery still looms over the games… whatever happened to AZ’s Floette (also referred to as the “Eternal Flower” form) that was coded in as an event Pokémon but never released?

AZ was a mysterious character who is revealed throughout X & Y‘s story to be a former king that built a machine to resurrect his beloved Pokémon who died in a great war. Unfortunately, although successful, he was not completely satisfied simply to have his Floette reunited with him—he wanted to end the entire war. In order to do so he re-purposed his machine into a weapon of total destruction which was fueled by the very life essence of Pokémon around it. After using it, the war ended, but his beautiful flower Pokémon refused to forgive him for the deaths he caused and disappeared.

Although AZ ultimately reconciles with his Pokémon, players eagerly waiting for this unique Floette form have not had such an auspicious conclusion. The form is still unavailable to this day and has never been formally mentioned by GameFreak. What’s more, its base stats differed than standard Floette’s; altogether it has a BST of 551 while its normal evolution is just one point higher at 552 (a normal Floette has a measly BST of 371). This isn’t all that surprising though given that it is evolution-locked and cannot evolve into Florges. It also has access to a special move, Light of Ruin, which is the strongest Fairy-type attack, but is currently usable by no other Pokémon besides this unreleased enigma.

There are many theories as to why this may have been. Was it meant for another game, possibly a third title for Generation VI, which explored Kalos’ lore in greater depth? Was its grim history too much for a family-friendly game? Or was it coded in for an unused battle against AZ, only existing as a model for the NPC to use?

What do YOU think happened and would you like to see it distributed some day? Maybe in the X & Y remakes!

  3. I always figured they decided against it because it’s such an important pokemon. Unless AZ himself gives it to you, which im not sure why he would, it would be wrong just to have one for yourself. But now that gen 6 is over I don’t see why it should still be an issue.

      • Yeah, but he’s not necessarily canon to the games is he? I guess in a way he is, but not the show Ash. We still got them in a game in which ash does not appear, which is why i think now is an okay time to go ahead and release it

  5. It will probably appear in the game that has the region that Kalos was at war with. While we are exploring that particular region we might be able to find it.

  9. It was probably a last minute decision, like they thought that owning the Pokemon that AZ awaited for so long is kinda inmoral? Idk. But eh, if it was planned to release in another XY game then why not release it in SM?

  12. I would say AZs Floette is likely never coming. It was probably something they planned to release, but ultimately decided it wasn’t needed.i know it got it’s move updated, but that was likely just to cover bases rather than them getting it ready for release. Peeps need to move on. If it gets released then awesome. If not then it’s not the end of the world.

  15. I agree, it’s really bizarre that AZ Floette has been mysteriously never released. It’s a shame though, because it has the strongest fairy attack and really nice stats, but Pokémon apparently forgot about it and it’s lost in the data of every new game until a miraculous event occurs for it.

  17. You fucking terrible people trying to take his Floette how dare you. You all deserve to burn in hell. He waited 3000 years for his middle of the road fairy type and if you’re not goona let him keep it you don’t deserve oxygen
