A new move for Floragato, perhaps?

The hardness of Floragato's fur depends on the Pokémon's mood. When Floragato is prepared to battle, its fur becomes pointed and needle sharp.

Seems to reference the Dex. I don’t see any spike-related moves in its learnset.

 

[Poke Trey]

New move for Florgato incoming? Also, gonna assume an anime original location is to be used here.

You think so too?

It can learn Spikes/Toxic Spikes by TM.

However, we also know the anime kinda takes liberties in how a move looks compared to the games, since in the anime, the moves often look different/flashier than in the games, so maybe it learns Grass Knot.

That's a good idea, in the latest battle it seemed like the writers were struggling with giving a use to its yoyo and Spikes in particular could solve that problem. Another option could be Seed Bomb.

I hope we get a new move here. Liko's battling style amounting to yelling for Magical Leaf over and over, with a "big big Magical Leaf" here and there is getting incredibly stale; the Sprigatito line has a diverse movepool and it's time to lean into that. If Roy and Fuecoco can, so should Liko and Floragato.

Agreed.
