Cutiefly

Say it: CU-tie-fly

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Cutiefly is the Bee Fly Pokémon — Bug and Fairy before Ribombee. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Ribombee — not a finished raid attacker. Bug/Fairy hits Grass, Psychic, Dark, and Dragon well in spots; Fire, Flying, Rock, Poison, and Steel punish it. Catch Cutiefly from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Against Cutiefly, lead with Fire, Flying, Rock, Poison, or Steel. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
