If Pidgeotto had not snatched Bellossom's Miracle Seed away, Bellossom's attacks would have been even stronger.
Even more outrageous was that Bellossom was protected by Florges's Flower Veil Ability, preventing status conditions and reductions to any of its stats, including Attack and Defense.
That rendered moves that drained the opponent's energy ineffective, and Poliwrath's Hypnosis would not work either.

Pidgeotto swiftly gathered the surrounding Steel-type energy, channeling vast amounts of it into its wings.
Reinforced by Steel-type energy, Pidgeotto's wings became as hard as steel.
Once the energy had gathered, Pidgeotto beat its wings and attacked Florges, its wings brimming
