Generation IV identity and base stats

Beautifly is Sinnoh #050 and National #267. Its Platinum typing is Bug / Flying. The stats below describe its standard Platinum form on the original Nintendo DS cartridge. Later Fairy typing, stat buffs and Hidden Abilities are excluded.

The existing Platinum sprite shows its standard Platinum form; gender, cloak or alternate forms can have different appearances.

Beautifly Generation IV base stats
Stat	Base value
HP	60
Attack	70
Defense	50
Sp. Atk	90
Sp. Def	50
Speed	65
Total	385

Where to obtain it in Platinum

Check the location, method and conditions before travelling. A gift, trade, Honey Tree, daily replacement or stationary interaction is different from ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching documented encounter slots.

These records are filtered to Platinum. Time, Poké Radar, swarm, GBA insertion, daily and story conditions remain separate. Postgame areas require their story access; no listed area is promised to be open on a fresh save.

Evolution family and Generation IV requirements

Beautifly regional evolution family
From	Into	Platinum method
Wurmple	Silcoon	Level 7; its personality value selects this branch, rather than time of day
Silcoon	Beautifly	Level 10
Wurmple	Cascoon	Level 7; its personality value selects this branch, rather than time of day
Cascoon	Dustox	Level 10

Friendship evolution uses the original threshold of 220. Held-item trades need a compatible second game and system. Platinum uses special rocks, Mt. Coronet magnetic evolutions, learned-move requirements and Beauty rather than later replacement methods.

Original abilities, breeding and training

Beautifly Generation IV ability slots
Ability	Original slot
Swarm	Regular ability slot 1

Hidden Abilities did not exist in Generation IV. The table restores original ability slots where a species changed in later games; an ability’s modern behavior must not be assumed to match Platinum.

Beautifly breeding and training facts
Property	Value
Gender ratio	50% female / 50% male
Egg group(s)	Bug
Base hatch cycles	15
Experience growth	Medium Fast
Base capture rate	45 / 255 (not a percentage chance)
EV yield when defeated	Special Attack +3

The Solaceon Town Day Care supports breeding before the League. Undiscovered species cannot produce Eggs. Some baby forms require the matching incense on a parent, while trade evolutions still need the trade rather than only a Day Care level.

Platinum level-up moves

Beautifly exact Platinum level-up learnset
Level	Move
1 / starting move	Absorb
10	Absorb
13	Gust

20	Morning Sun
24	Mega Drain
27	Whirlwind
31	Attract
34	Silver Wind
38	Giga Drain
41	Bug Buzz

Every row uses the Platinum version group. Level 1 moves include starting and reminder moves; a later caught specimen need not already know every entry. Evolution timing affects which stage learns a move. Pastoria’s Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

Platinum TMs are single-use: teaching one consumes that copy. HMs are reusable and require the Move Deleter to be forgotten. Defog is HM05 and Rock Climb is HM08; these are the Generation IV field moves, with their own badge requirements.

Egg moves and Platinum Move Tutors

No Platinum Egg moves are recorded for this form.

Recorded Platinum tutor compatibility: Air Cutter, Ominous Wind, Signal Beam, Snore, Swift, Twister.

Tutor compatibility does not mean every listed technique comes from the same shard tutor. Starter ultimate moves, Draco Meteor and other special services have their own requirements.

FIELD NOTE

Use Beautifly’s exact Platinum method and condition. Daily encounters, counterpart-game species, original evolution rules and external Egg requirements need separate collection plans.
