Upon the introduction of the Gen 2 update, one of the dilemmas that trainers have in the game is the efficient use of the Evolution items. With the scanty one percent drop rate of these special items, trainers find it hard to make a decisive choice between the efficient usage of the item - usually polarized by a choice between two similar Pokémon. One of the great exemplars is the use of Sun Stone - players are torn between choosing between Sunflora and Bellossom. But which of these two are exactly the better choice?
Pokémon GO: Sunflora
Sunflora is a pure Grass-type Pokémon that is considered by many as an inferior version of Venusaur due to its low Max CP and stats distribution. A detailed info about Sunflora can be seen down below:
Pokémon | Max CP | ATK | DEF | STA |
Sunflora (Grass) | 2048 | 185 | 150 | 148 |
Surprisingly, Sunflora is capable of accessing popular abilities including the Solar Beam and Razor Leaf. Many top tiered players recommend opting for Razor Leaf on Sunflora. But despite this, Sunflora is still deemed to be a weak Pokémon.
Pokemon GO: Bellossom
Bellossom is also a pure Grass-type Pokémon that has a great Charge ability: Petal Blizzard which is very viable in Gym Battles. However, Bellossom's other abilities are mundane and weak. Competitive trainers suggest that a combination of Dazzling Gleam can be viable but with its poor stat distribution, it'll still be weak nonetheless.
Pokémon | Max CP | ATK | DEF | STA |
Bellossom ( Grass) | 2108 | 169 | 189 | 150 |
Pokémon GO : Sunflora vs Bellossom
Despite the Sun Stone and the rest of the Evolution Stones being practically rare, it's sad to say that there's nothing much that these two Pokémon can offer aside from filling the player's Pokédex. And so for players that may be wondering which Pokémon to evolve first, the answer is quite simple. Choose what they like the most; as there's a lot of other viable attackers currently in the wild that far surpass the capabilities of these two Pokémon.
