The answer shouldn’t surprise anyone. Sunflora is not that strong and has a mediocre move pool, meanwhile Clair has dragons that know ice and fire moves to deal with a grass type.
The answer may surprise you!
exhibit a: clair’s actual gs team. not one fire move in the bunch. ice beam a slight problem, but it’s only on one of them. so, everything else, nbd
exhibit b: my own sunflora soloing clair’s kingdra after beating the dragonairs into submission. +5 sp. atk and miracle seed does wonders.
“Make em pay.”
This post makes me want to play through all of the Pokémon games again
