Evolve now or wait
from the game's learnsets and the relearner ruleSunkern evolves whenever you use the Sun Stone; the comparison below assumes you do it at level 33, the level you first meet it. Evolving then forfeits 2 moves that Sunkern would still learn: Synthesis at 37, Giga Drain at 42. Sunflora learns 2 moves of its own after that: Petal Dance at 37, Solar Beam at 42.
| Move you would forfeit | Level | Can you get it back? |
|---|---|---|
| Synthesis | 37 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Sunflora this move is gone. |
| Giga Drain | 42 | Yes: TM19 Giga Drain teaches Sunflora. |
Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner in Fallarbor Town (he takes a Heart Scale) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
