Cottonee moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Cottonee starts every run with Vine Whip: long-range whips in a wide arc.
The level-up cards can then offer 14 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 6 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Grass moves: Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, Petal Blizzard, Grass Knot
- Fairy moves: Fairy Wind, Dazzling Gleam
Weaknesses and resistances
Cottonee takes extra damage from Poison (2.4x), Fire (1.6x), Ice (1.6x), Flying (1.6x), and Steel (1.6x). It resists Dragon (0.3x), Water (0.6x), Electric (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), Fighting (0.6x), Ground (0.6x), and Dark (0.6x). The remaining 6 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Cottonee are the ones whose first type is Poison, Fire, Ice, Flying, or Steel, which hit for up to 2.4x. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Grass or Fairy moves do not hit harder just because Cottonee shares the type.
How to get Cottonee
Cottonee is part of the Unova banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (45% for Common) and then picks one of the 36 Common Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Cottonee a 1.25% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 80 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 15 coins, or 45 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
Shiny Cottonee exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Cottonee as an enemy
Cottonee can show up as a regular enemy from 0:00 into the run (enemy tier 1). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.
Its enemy role is fan shooter: it fires a fan of shots in your direction.
