'''Liko's Sprigatito''' (Japanese: '''リコのニャオハ''' ''Liko's Nyahoja'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that [[Liko]] obtained at the beginning of her {{pkmn|journey}}, given to her in the [[Indigo Academy]]. She is usually seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] her {{i|Poké Ball}}.
'''Liko's Floragato''' (Japanese: '''リコのニャローテ''' ''Liko's Nyarote'') was the [[first partner Pokémon]] that [[Liko]] obtained at the beginning of her {{pkmn|journey}}, given to her as a {{p|Sprigatito}} at [[Indigo Academy]]. She is usually seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] her {{i|Poké Ball}}.

Prior to her debut, {{p|Sprigatito}} was raised by [[Manya]] and lived in her [[Manya's house|home]]. During her time there, Sprigatito was usually alone until she impressed her fellow Pokémon with her skills in using {{m|Leafage}}. After that, Sprigatito befriended a group of Pokémon and played with them. One day, Sprigatito witnessed her friends in trouble when they were snatched by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spidops}}. Although she saved them, Sprigatito noticed that her Leafage accidentally hurt them, which upset her because they became scared of her. Sprigatito then felt lonely again, especially when her friends got picked for new Trainers, and didn't use Leafage again. Later on, she noticed a beginning Trainer named [[Liko]] being interviewed by [[Liko's homeroom teacher|her teacher]] through his [[Rotom Phone]] for the [[Indigo Academy]]. Seeing how happy Liko looked, Sprigatito saw something in her, which Manya noticed and had her sent to Indigo Academy to become that Trainer's [[starter Pokémon]].
[[File:Liko Sprigatito past incident.png|thumb|250px|The incident that made Sprigatito wary of using {{m|Leafage}}]]
Prior to ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', {{p|Floragato}}, still as a {{p|Sprigatito}} was raised by [[Marnya]] at her [[Marnya's house|home]] among other {{wp|Felidae|feline}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as seen in ''[[HZ040|Farewell, Sprigatito?]]''. During this time, Sprigatito was usually alone, preferring to stay by herself rather than playing with others, until she impressed her fellow Pokémon with her skills in using {{m|Leafage}} and became close friends with a group of other Sprigatito. One day, she witnessed her friends in trouble after they were snatched by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spidops}}. Although she managed to scare the attacker away, she ended up hurting her friends in the process. From this point onwards, they started avoiding her, afraid of what could happen to them. Thus, Sprigatito felt lonely again, sitting alone on the roof as the others found partners for themselves, and stopped using the [[move]] that once was a source of admiration.
 
Later on, she was among a variety of [[first partner Pokémon]] being introduced to a [[Liko|beginning Trainer]] from [[Indigo Academy]]. As Marnya noted at the moment, Sprigatito saw something in her, something that made her think they were made for one another.

Sprigatito debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All: Part One]]'', when Liko received her as her starter Pokémon by the [[Indigo Academy]]. At first, Sprigatito and Liko didn't get along well, with the Grass Cat Pokémon scratching her Trainer's hand and running off to mind her own business. In her battle debut against [[Ann]]'s {{p|Oshawott}}, Sprigatito didn't listen to Liko's instructions, which led to her getting hit by a {{m|Water Gun}}.
Floragato debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' as a Sprigatito, when [[Liko]] received her as her first partner Pokémon from Indigo Academy. At first, Sprigatito and Liko didn't get along well, with the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} scratching her Trainer's hand and running off to mind her own business. In her {{pkmn|battle}} debut against [[Ann]]'s {{p|Oshawott}}, Sprigatito didn't listen to Liko's instructions, which led to her getting hit by a {{m|Water Gun}}.


During the next days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about her and make her listen to her instructions in battle, but to little avail. When [[Amethio]] first approached Liko, Sprigatito immediately got suspicious of him and led her Trainer to the school's rooftop. She then went up against [[Zirc]]'s {{p|Rhydon}} and won after subduing it with her aroma.

After being rescued by [[Friede]] in the [[HZ002|next episode]], they were taken aboard his [[Brave Olivine|airship]] with the other members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], but were soon confronted by Amethio and his teammates. Liko was about to give herself up, but after some encouragement from Sprigatito, Liko stood tall and had her unleash a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the Wing Deck, but she got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the [[Explorers]] to kidnap Sprigatito before fleeing.

Liko was about to give herself up, but after some encouragement from Sprigatito, she stood tall and had her partner unleash a Leafage so strong it broke the forcefield around the Wing Deck, exposing everyone to the unrelenting weather going on. In the process, however, she got blown overboard, which allowed the [[Explorers]] to kidnap her before fleeing.


In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Sprigatito was kept in a warehouse with [[Onia]], who had taken a liking to Sprigatito and was giving her food and toys. With the help of [[Murdock's Rockruff]], Liko located Sprigatito and took her back from the Explorers, only to be confronted by Onia and her {{p|Skarmory}}. Sprigatito was able to blind Onia and Skarmory with Leafage, allowing them to escape. At the end of the day, Sprigatito and Liko joined the Rising Volt Tacklers as official members.

[[File:Liko Floragato Roy Fuecoco Dot Quaxly.png|thumb|250px|Floragato with {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} and {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}]]
In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', Sprigatito battled Onia and her {{p|Golduck}}, and quickly defeated them. However, Sprigatito and Liko were almost ambushed by Amethio and his {{p|Corviknight}}. Fortunately, they were [[HZ006|saved by Liko's pendant]] once again. Sprigatito then teamed up with {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} in order to battle against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. Despite the numerical advantage, Ceruledge was clearly dominating the battle, which ultimately came to a halt when a [[Black Rayquaza]] emerged from [[Roy]]'s Ancient Poké Ball and started attacking, forcing the Explorers to retreat.

Fortunately, they were [[HZ006|saved by Liko's pendant]] once again. Sprigatito then teamed up with [[Roy]]'s soon-to-be {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} in order to battle against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. Despite the numerical advantage, Ceruledge was clearly dominating the battle, which ultimately came to a halt when a [[Black Rayquaza]] emerged from [[Roy]]'s {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} and started attacking, forcing the Explorers to retreat.
 
In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Sprigatito briefly sparred against Roy's Fuecoco. However, they didn't make much progress, as both Pokémon tired themselves into a draw after consecutive uses of Leafage and {{m|Ember}}. Later, after being unable to talk to [[Dot]], Liko and Roy's determination to get stronger convinced Friede into holding a special training session for the rookies: this time, Sprigatito and Fuecoco faced off against [[Captain Pikachu]] and needed to land only a single hit on the Mouse Pokémon to win the match. While they initially struggled against his {{m|Double Team}}, Sprigatito managed to almost score a {{m|Scratch}} after her Trainer figured out Pikachu's behavior. After a lunch break, Sprigatito battled against Fuecoco once more in order to see how much the special training paid off. In the end, despite being at a [[type]] disadvantage, Sprigatito knocked Fuecoco out with her newly-learned {{m|Quick Attack}}, giving Liko the win. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know that the Black Rayquaza was in [[Paldea]].
[[File:Sprigatito retrieves Liko's pendant.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito retrieving {{an|Terapagos|Liko's pendant}}]]
In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Sprigatito and Liko went to [[Levincia]] after her Trainer saw an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] that [[Murdock]] had wanted. However, unbeknownst to both of them, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] in order to steal Liko's pendant. After arriving in a dark alley, Sprigatito was put in a trance by Spinel's {{p|Beheeyem}} as he easily stole the pendant. It was later revealed in the [[HZ015|next episode]] that Sprigatito went through a memory wipe thanks to Beheeyem, but regained her memory piece by piece. After jumping off a building with Liko, Sprigatito reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers. In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Sprigatito teamed up with Roy's Pokémon and [[Dot's Quaxly]] to battle Spinel's Pokémon. Although they were able to defeat his {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, they nearly lost to his {{p|Umbreon}}. However, Sprigatito was able to get Liko's pendant back from Spinel.
 
In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Sprigatito participated in a Gym challenge set up by [[Motostoke]]'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Kabu]]. Sprigatito's role was to extinguish the {{p|Litwick}} flames while Fuecoco attempted to keep them lit. Sprigatito ended up gaining the advantage, only for Liko to give up on the challenge when she noticed Roy's improvement, upsetting Sprigatito. She then went on to battle alongside Fuecoco against Kabu's {{p|Centiskorch}} and {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}'s {{p|Rolycoly}}. The two were unable to defeat Centiskorch and, when faced off against Rolycoly, Liko forfeited against Sprigatito's wishes so Wakaba could win, which greatly upset both Wakaba and Sprigatito.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito Overgrow.png|thumb|250px|{{a|Overgrow}} activated]]
In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Sprigatito battled against the Explorers alongside Fuecoco until they encountered a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball. After Moltres overwhelmed everyone and left Captain Pikachu injured, Sprigatito left the [[Galar Mine]] with Liko, Roy, and the Mouse Pokémon. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Sprigatito was brought to the Motostoke [[Pokémon Center]] in order to recover. After recovering, Sprigatito battled Moltres again in an attempt to calm down the angry Pokémon. With the help of {{p|Arboliva}}'s {{a|Seed Sower}}, it increased the power of Sprigatito's Leafage in order to have its sweet scent reach Moltres. This calmed the [[Legendary Pokémon]] down, and it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball, which allowed Liko to take it under her care.
 
In ''[[HZ028|The Stolen Treasure]]'', Sprigatito teamed up with Roy's Pokémon to battle against [[Tepen]] in order to get the Ancient Poké Ball back that he stole from them, but was put to sleep by the special {{m|Sleep Powder}} that his {{p|Foongus}} had.
 
In ''[[HZ040|Farewell, Sprigatito?]]'', Sprigatito ran away from the Brave Olivine, after she accidentally injured Liko during a practice battle against Fuecoco. She went to Marnya's home, as she saw her home nearby earlier while Liko was giving Hatenna and Terapagos a bath. When Liko arrived to claim her, Sprigatito refused to leave as she believed that she would hurt her Trainer again. However, Sprigatito was convinced by Liko that what happen before was an accident and knew that she would never want to hurt her on purpose. After understanding Liko's words, Sprigatito saw Hatenna and Terapagos snatched by a wild {{p|Spidops}}. She initially hesitated to use Leafage again to hurt her friends, but Liko encouraged her to use it, and she used it again. This time, she learned {{m|Magical Leaf}} to save them. After returning to the Brave Olivine, Sprigatito continued her practice battle against Fuecoco and won.
 
In ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]'', Sprigatito was used to battle against [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}}. Despite her best efforts, none of her attacks seemed to faze the opposing Pokémon, who eventually used her Magical Leaf as a smokescreen to bind her and unleash a point-blank {{m|Salt Cure}}. This was enough to activate her {{a|Overgrow}} [[Ability]], giving her a power boost in a pinch, but the battle was called off early due to new developments on the Explorers's plan.
 
In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Sprigatito played a part in stalling the Explorers until Dot arrived to deactivate the machine they were using. In the [[HZ045|next episode]], Sprigatito teamed up with Fuecoco, Quaxly, Captain Pikachu, and [[Friede's Charizard]] in order to battle against the Black Rayquaza. Collectively, they manage to create an opening for Fuecoco to unleash his {{m|Disarming Voice}}, but the [[Legendary Pokémon]] counterattacked with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, almost hitting Sprigatito if not by the sudden arrival of Amethio. Then, fueled up by her Trainer's determination, Sprigatito [[Evolution|evolved]] into Floragato and was able to land a hit on the Legendary Pokémon, but collapsed from exhaustion.


In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Sprigatito briefly sparred against Roy's Fuecoco. However, they didn't make much progress, as both Pokémon tired themselves into a draw after consecutive uses of Leafage and {{m|Ember}}. Later, after being unable to talk to [[Dot]], Liko and Roy's determination to get stronger convinced Friede into holding a special training session for the rookies: this time, Sprigatito and Fuecoco faced off against [[Captain Pikachu]] and needed to land only a single hit on the Mouse Pokémon to win the match. While they initially struggled against his {{m|Double Team}}, Sprigatito managed to almost score a {{m|Scratch}} after her Trainer figured out Pikachu's behavior. After a lunch break, Sprigatito battled against Fuecoco once more in order to see how much the special training paid off. In the end, despite being at a [[type]] disadvantage, Sprigatito knocked Fuecoco out with its newly-learned {{m|Quick Attack}}, giving Liko the win. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know that the Black Rayquaza was in [[Paldea]].
In [[HZ046]], Floragato traveled with Liko to [[Naranja Academy]]. After a tour and being introduced to some of the teachers, Floragato had a [[rematch]] against Ann's {{p|Dewott}}, mirroring the first battle she had under Liko's ownership. This time, Floragato was able to win the battle by using her type advantage and newfound dexterity to her advantage.

[[File:HZ056.png|thumb|250px|left|Floragato attacking {{p|Clodsire}}]]
In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!]]'', Sprigatito and Liko went to [[Levincia]] after her Trainer saw an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] that [[Murdock]] had wanted. However, unbeknownst to both of them, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] in order to steal Liko's pendant. After arriving in a dark alley, Sprigatito was put in a trance by Spinel's {{p|Beheeyem}} as he easily stole the pendant. It was later revealed in the [[HZ015|next episode]] that Sprigatito went through a memory wipe thanks to Beheeyem, but regained her memory piece by piece. After jumping off a building with Liko, Sprigatito reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers. In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It!]]'', Sprigatito teamed up with Roy's Pokémon and [[Dot's Quaxly]] to battle Spinel's Pokémon. Although they were able to defeat his {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, they nearly lost to his {{p|Umbreon}}. However, Sprigatito was able to get Liko's pedant back from Spinel.
In [[HZ047]], Floragato headed to [[Cortondo]] with her Trainer for their [[Terastal Training]] test. She assisted Liko with successfully baking a matcha cake. In the subsequent battle against [[Katy]], Floragato struggled to attack her {{p|Teddiursa}} due to {{m|Sweet Scent}} and {{m|Charm}} distracting her constantly. Liko swifty ordered her to use Magical Leaf to blow away the Sweet Scent and to land a hit on her opponent. Floragato then Terastallized into a Grass Tera Type to deal more damage to Teddiursa with a boosted Magical Leaf flurry. However, Teddiursa Terastallized into a {{t|Bug}} type, rendering the move [[Type#Type effectiveness|not very effective]] and followed up with a powered-up, super-effective {{m|Fury Cutter}}, beating Floragato. Despite the loss, Liko and Floragato both passed the test due to their strong bond, efforts, and use of Terastallization at an appropriate time.


In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Sprigatito participated in a Gym challenge set up by [[Motostoke]]'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Kabu]]. Sprigatito's role was to extinguish the {{p|Litwick}} flames while Fuecoco attempted to keep them lit. Sprigatito ended up gaining the advantage, only for Liko to give up on the challenge when she noticed Roy's improvement, upsetting Sprigatito. She then went on to battle alongside Fuecoco against Kabu's {{p|Centiskorch}} and {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}'s {{p|Rolycoly}}. The two were unable to defeat Centiskorch and, when faced off against Rolycoly, Liko forfeited against Sprigatito's wishes so Wakaba could win, which increasingly upsets both her and Sprigatito.
In [[HZ056]], Floragato was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside Katy and her {{p|Lokix}} against [[Rika]] and her {{p|Clodsire}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}. Initially, Liko and Floragato struggled against Rika's move combinations, but thanks to both her and Katy reminding Liko of the importance of enjoying herself while battling, she regained her composure and Floragato started to battle more effectively. After Lokix gets knocked out, Floragato was left to battle both Clodsire and Dugtrio on her own. Despite her best efforts, even learning a new move in {{m|Acrobatics}}, Floragato was defeated after her Terastallization-boosted Magical Leaf was overpowered by Clodsire's Terastallization-boosted {{m|Earth Power}}, resulting in Rika's victory.
[[File:HZ063.png|thumb|250px|Floragato battling {{p|Cetitan}}]]
In [[HZ063]], Liko used Floragato as her first Pokémon in her battle against [[Grusha]] for her second Terastal Training test. She first battled {{p|Cetitan}} but, due to her type disadvantage against the {{t|Ice}} type, she found herself being given a hard time. Floragato was then switched out in favor of Hattrem before returning to the field when the latter was defeated. She managed to stop Cetitan cold by firing her Magical Leaf attack into its mouth, forcing Grusha to switch it out with {{p|Altaria}}, who put the Grass Cat Pokémon in a precarious spot with its aerial attacks. Liko then ordered Floragato to grab onto Altaria's legs with her vine and hit it with {{m|Acrobatics}}, causing the Humming Pokémon to fall to the ground. Both Liko and Grusha Terastallized their Pokémon, both of whom engaged in one final clash of Magical Leaf and Ice Beam, with Altaria's Ice Beam winning out. With Floragato's defeat, Liko lost the match. Afterward, Grusha informed Liko that she failed the test and there would be no rematch, much to Liko and the others' shock, leaving her in despair.


In [[HZ022]], Sprigatito battled against the Explores alongside Fuecoco until they encountered a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball. After Moltres overwhelmed everyone and left Captain Pikachu injured, Sprigatito left the [[Galar Mine]] with Liko, Roy, and the Mouse Pokémon. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Sprigatito was brought to the Motostoke [[Pokémon Center]] in order to recover. After recovering, Sprigatito battled Moltres again in an attempt to calm down the angry Pokémon. With the help of {{p|Arboliva}}'s {{a|Seed Sower}}, it increased the power of Sprigatito's Leafage in order to have its sweet scent reach Moltres. This calmed the Legendary Pokémon down, and it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball, which allowed Liko to take it under her care.
In [[HZ064]], Floragato accompanied her Trainer to the peak of [[Glaseado Mountain]] to cheer her up after their previous loss. Along the way, the two were separated from Roy and Dot by [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}}, whose Trainer was working with Spinel to spy on them. Floragato was then used to battle Amethio's Ceruledge after a sudden encounter with him. In stark contrast to their previous battle, Floragato was actually able to put up a fight and strategize by dodging Ceruledge's Fire-type moves thanks to her and Liko's training. When Amethio got serious and Terastalized Ceruledge, Floragato was overwhelmed and nearly defeated, until Spinel and his Umbreon suddenly interfered. After witnessing Spinel using the [[Laquium]] to shockingly empower his Umbreon against Ceruledge to defeat it, Floragato and her Trainer were surprised by Terapagos using its Terastal form to destroy the Laquium's effects. Floragato and Liko then followed Amethio and Ceruledge in chasing down Spinel for answers but were trapped in a cave as a result.


In [[HZ028]], Sprigatito teamed up with Roy's Pokémon to battle against [[Tepen]] in order to get the Ancient Poké Ball back that he stole from them, but was put to sleep by the special {{m|Sleep Powder}} that his {{p|Foongus}} had.
In [[HZ066]], Floragato and Liko were informed of the Explorers' activities at Naranja Academy. After encountering Sidian on the school bridge, Floragato was soon used to battle against Sidian's Garganacl. When her opponent got serious and Terastallized his Pokémon, Floragato found herself in difficulty and Sidian told Liko to give up and surrender Terapagos. Liko refused to give up and Terastallized Floragato, allowing her to defeat Garganacl with a boosted Magical Leaf, forcing Sidian to retreat. Later, Floragato and Liko encountered Grusha, who told them to meet him in [[Clavell]]'s room. To her big surprise, Liko was not punished for Terastallizing and Grusha had surprisingly passed Liko in his assessment after witnessing her heroic actions and victory in battle.


In [[HZ040]], Sprigatito ran away from the Brave Olivine, after she accidentally injured Liko during a practice battle against Fuecoco. She went to Manya's home, as she saw her home nearby earlier while Liko was giving Hatenna and Terapagos a bath. When Liko arrived to claim her, Sprigatito refused to leave as she believed that she would hurt her Trainer again. However, Sprigatito was convinced by Liko that what happen before was an accident and knew that she would never want to hurt her on purpose. After understanding Liko's words, Sprigatito saw Hatenna and Terapagos snatched by a wild {{p|Spidops}}. She initially hesitated to use Leafage again to hurt her friends, but Liko encouraged her to use it, and she used it again. This time, she learned {{m|Magical Leaf}} to save them. After returning to the Brave Olivine, Sprigatito continued her practice battle against Fuecoco and won.
In [[HZ067]], Floragato battled against Roy's Fuecoco in the [[Course Students Battle Tournament]]. Both Pokémon were evenly matched, with Fuecoco increasing his speed with Flame Charge and Floragato using her vine to grab him. Floragato then went up against {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} after Roy swapped out Fuecoco. She struggled against her aerial opponent and got paralyzed by {{m|Spark}}, prompting Liko to switch her for Hattrem. Hattrem managed to cure Floragato of her [[status condition]] with her {{a|Healer}} [[Ability]] before being defeated. Back against Kilowattrel, she tricked it with her vine and defeated it with Scratch. Floragato and Fuecoco faced off again, with Floragato even learning {{m|Sucker Punch}}. However, thanks to singing from Roy and the crowd, Fuecoco evolved into {{p|Crocalor}}. Both Pokémon soon Terastallized, but Floragato was defeated, losing Liko the battle. After the battle, Floragato and her Trainer met up with Katy and Grusha, who encouraged them to not give up and get stronger in the future.
 
In [[HZ068]], Floragato faced off against Lucius's Arboliva in a training battle, with both Pokémon clashing with Magical Leaf. She struggled against her opponent's power at first, but then used Magical Leaf as a blind to wrap her vine around Arboliva before unleashing a supereffective Acrobatics on it. Floragato was then Terastallized to do more damage, although Arboliva was not defeated, it was impressed by Liko and Floragato's strength and returned to its Poké Ball.

[[File:Liko Sprigatito angry.png|thumb|left|250px|Sprigatito being easily provoked]]
Sprigatito has shown to be brave, headstrong, and somewhat reckless. However, unlike her {{p|Sprigatito|species}}, Sprigatito isn't the affectionate type nor an attention-seeker. Sprigatito also does not like receiving affection as she is hostile to humans. Despite her initial coldness towards those around her, Sprigatito has shown to be relaxed and enjoys sunbathing. Sprigatito at times has also shown to not be easily impressed with various things. As revealed in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Sprigatito is shown to like dry-flavored food, like matcha cupcakes. Sprigatito also enjoys sweets, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when she was shown to like the taste of [[Murdock's Alcremie]]'s cream. In addition, Sprigatito is easily startled by loud noises and is also easily provoked, as seen during her training against [[Captain Pikachu]], in which its {{m|Double Team}} copies easily frustrated the Grass Cat Pokémon. Despite being a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, Sprigatito doesn't like water.
Floragato has shown to be brave, headstrong, and somewhat reckless. As a Sprigatito, she was not the affectionate type nor an attention-seeker, both traits common of her {{p|Sprigatito|species}}, to the point of being hostile to humans if they tried to display affection. As the time passed, specially since the events of ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', her initial coldness and hostility towards those around her has mellowed out as she became friendlier with people and Pokémon alike, but has not outright disappeared: when she first met [[Diana]] in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle]]'', she tried to scratch her, probably in response to what she was saying. Much like her Trainer, she can be cautious of trusting others, a trait first seen when [[Amethio]] presented himself to them in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', but otherwise has no reservations and can easily make friends.
[[File:Liko and Sprigatito.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito and Liko]]
Initially, Sprigatito didn't listen to [[Liko]]'s commands as she wasn't interested in her, preferring to sit out on the roof of the [[Indigo Academy]] instead of hanging out with her. However, after witnessing her Trainer attempt to understand her habits, Sprigatito started to care about Liko and came to appreciate her affection, often sitting on her shoulder or head, or being held in her Trainer's arms. Also, upon witnessing the lengths her Trainer was willing to go in order protect her when they were [[HZ002|falling]] at the Indigo Academy and [[HZ003|rescue]] her from the [[Explorers]], Sprigatito became very loyal to Liko. Although her bond with Liko is pretty strong, Sprigatito at times gets upset with her Trainer, especially if she does something she doesn't like or approve of, but does understand her well-meaning intentions to help their friends.


Ever since the events of ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All: Part Two]]'', Sprigatito mellowed out and has shown to no longer be hostile towards others, as she became friendly with both people and Pokémon. However, despite her improvement in interacting with people and Pokémon, Sprigatito still shows her hostile side at times, as she tried to scratch {{OBP|Diana|Horizons}}, even though she is Liko's grandmother, when she first met her. Sprigatito is also free-spirited as she enjoys playing and running around. Much like her Trainer, Sprigatito can be cautious of trusting others, as she quickly realized that [[Amethio]] had dark motives and hissed at him, after he presented himself as a representative of Liko's grandmother. Sprigatito also can easily make friends, being able to quickly befriend [[Roy's Fuecoco]] and [[Dot's Quaxly]] after meeting them. In addition, Sprigatito has shown to get jealous of other Pokémon taking or winning Liko's affection and getting along with her, as seen with {{OBP|Alex|Horizons}}'s {{p|Fidough}} in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'' and {{an|Terapagos}} in [[HZ026]]. However, Sprigatito quickly let go of her grudge after she befriended them.
She has shown to be relaxed and overall unimpressed with various things. She enjoys sunbathing and, as revealed in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', dry-flavored food, with a special liking to matcha, but has been seen enjoying sweets in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]''. In addition, she is easily startled by loud noises and has shown to be easily provokable, as seen during her first training match against [[Captain Pikachu]], in which his {{m|Double Team}} strategy frustrated her. Despite being a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, she doesn't like water.

[[File:Liko and Floragato.png|thumb|250px|Floragato and Liko]]
Although, when Liko met a wild {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} and took care of her in [[HZ021]], Sprigatito didn't show any sign of jealousy towards her, as she helped her Trainer look after the Calm Pokémon, which led them to form a close friendship and become teammates when her Trainer {{pkmn2|caught}} her, after encouraging her to stay with them. Ever since Hatenna joined the group, Sprigatito became protective of her, as she came to see her as her little sister and would get concern when she would wonder off on her own, as shown in [[HZ027]], when she ran away from [[Dot]]'s strong emotions, but was relieved that she was safe when the group found her.
Initially, Sprigatito was a lot more free-spirited and did not seem interested in [[Liko]] at all, scratching her hand during their first meeting and running off to mind her own business. However, after witnessing the effort her Trainer was putting in order to actually understand her habits, she started to break out of her shell and eventually came to appreciate her affection, allowing Liko to carry her on her arms or taking the initiative to sit on her shoulder or atop her head. Furthermore, upon witnessing the lengths her Trainer was willing to go in order to protect her, even during their initial hardships, such as when they were [[HZ002|falling from a height at the Indigo Academy]] or when [[HZ003|Liko rescued her from the Explorers]], she became very loyal to Liko. Although their bond is pretty strong, she gets upset with her Trainer at times, specially if Liko does something she doesn't like or approve of, but does understand her well-meaning intentions to help their friends.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito scent.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito using her scent]]
 
Sprigatito is capable of releasing a sweet scent from her paws that relaxes those who smell it. As shown in her battle against [[Zirc]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}, it is strong enough to put a Pokémon to sleep in the middle of a battle. This was shown again when Sprigatito used her sweet scent to calm a {{rf|Galarian}}{{p|Moltres}} down, although she had help from [[Friede]] and Roy's Pokémon. Sunbathing will strengthen the power of her sweet scent. She has also been shown using {{m|Leafage}} to blind opponents on multiple occasions as a way to circumvent her lack of raw strength. Sprigatito also has come to enjoy battling and developed a desire to become stronger. Although, Sprigatito was afraid of her own strength, as she fears causing serious harm to her friends, and was insecure with herself. However, through Liko's support and encouragement, Sprigatito let go of her fear and became more confident in herself.
Ever since her time at [[Marnya's house]], Sprigatito was insecure and afraid of her own strength, as she feared causing serious harm to her friends. Liko attributed this reasoning to explain Sprigatito's initial aversion to using Leafage when they first met. However, through Liko's support and encouragement, she let go of her fear and became more confident in herself, coming around to enjoy battling and developing a desire to become stronger.

[[File:Floragato with Hatenna and Terapagos.png|thumb|left|250px|Floragato with {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} and {{an|Terapagos}}]]
Sprigatito has shown to get jealous of other Pokémon taking or winning Liko's affection and getting along with her, as seen with [[Alex]]'s {{p|Fidough}} in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'' and {{an|Terapagos}} in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]''. However, Sprigatito quickly let go of her envy after she befriended them. Although, when Liko met a wild {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} and took care of her in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', she didn't show any sign of jealousy towards her, as she helped her Trainer look after the Calm Pokémon, which led them to form a close friendship and become teammates when her Trainer {{pkmn2|caught}} her, after encouraging her to stay with them. Ever since Hatenna joined the group, Sprigatito became protective of her, as she came to see her as her little sister and would get concerned when she would wander off on her own, as shown in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she ran away from [[Dot]]'s strong emotions, but was relieved that she was safe when the group found her. They maintain their friendship after they both evolved at different points.
[[File:Liko Floragato Sharp Fur.png|thumb|250px|Floragato's fur becoming sharp]]
As a Sprigatito, Floragato was capable of releasing a sweet scent from her paws that relaxed those who smelled it. Sunbathing strengthen the power of her sweet scent, as noted by Liko herself. This aroma was strong enough to put [[Zirc]]'s {{p|Rhydon}} to sleep in the middle of their battle in ''The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)'' and to calm Lucius's {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} down in ''[[HZ023|Fiery Galarian Moltres]]''. Moreover, Floragato has shown to be a tactic battler and was specially adept at using her Leafage, and later {{m|Magical Leaf}}, for various purposes. In ''[[HZ040|Farewell, Sprigatito?]]'', it was revealed that her proficiency with the move had garnered her some popularity around Marnya's house even before partnering with Liko. Since becoming her Pokémon, however, Sprigatito gained even more control over Leafage: as of ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', she became able to control its speed, quantity, and power to better suit the situation. Her Leafage can also be used to spread her sweet scent over large areas, as seen in ''Fiery Galarian Moltres'', and to blind opponents, usually in preparation for a sneak attack or for escaping—both applications point to Floragato's natural ingenuity, which matches perfectly with Liko's observational skills, allowing her to circumvent her lack of raw strength.

History

Pre-series

The incident that made Sprigatito wary of using Leafage

Prior to Pokémon Horizons: The Series, Floragato, still as a Sprigatito was raised by Marnya at her home among other feline Pokémon, as seen in Farewell, Sprigatito?. During this time, Sprigatito was usually alone, preferring to stay by herself rather than playing with others, until she impressed her fellow Pokémon with her skills in using Leafage and became close friends with a group of other Sprigatito. One day, she witnessed her friends in trouble after they were snatched by a wild Spidops. Although she managed to scare the attacker away, she ended up hurting her friends in the process. From this point onwards, they started avoiding her, afraid of what could happen to them. Thus, Sprigatito felt lonely again, sitting alone on the roof as the others found partners for themselves, and stopped using the move that once was a source of admiration.

Later on, she was among a variety of first partner Pokémon being introduced to a beginning Trainer from Indigo Academy. As Marnya noted at the moment, Sprigatito saw something in her, something that made her think they were made for one another.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Sprigatito being picked to be Liko's first partner Pokémon

Floragato debuted in The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One) as a Sprigatito, when Liko received her as her first partner Pokémon from Indigo Academy. At first, Sprigatito and Liko didn't get along well, with the Grass Cat Pokémon scratching her Trainer's hand and running off to mind her own business. In her battle debut against Ann's Oshawott, Sprigatito didn't listen to Liko's instructions, which led to her getting hit by a Water Gun.

During the next days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about her and make her listen to her instructions in battle, but to little avail. When Amethio first approached Liko, Sprigatito immediately got suspicious of him and led her Trainer to the school's rooftop. She then went up against Zirc's Rhydon and won after subduing it with her aroma.

After being rescued by Friede in the next episode, they were taken aboard his airship with the other members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, but were soon confronted by Amethio and his teammates. Liko was about to give herself up, but after some encouragement from Sprigatito, she stood tall and had her partner unleash a Leafage so strong it broke the forcefield around the Wing Deck, exposing everyone to the unrelenting weather going on. In the process, however, she got blown overboard, which allowed the Explorers to kidnap her before fleeing.

In For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!, Sprigatito was kept in a warehouse with Onia, who had taken a liking to Sprigatito and was giving her food and toys. With the help of Murdock's Rockruff, Liko located Sprigatito and took her back from the Explorers, only to be confronted by Onia and her Skarmory. Sprigatito was able to blind Onia and Skarmory with Leafage, allowing them to escape. At the end of the day, Sprigatito and Liko joined the Rising Volt Tacklers as official members.

Floragato with Fuecoco and Quaxly

In Found You, Fuecoco!, Sprigatito battled Onia and her Golduck, and quickly defeated them. However, Sprigatito and Liko were almost ambushed by Amethio and his Corviknight. Fortunately, they were saved by Liko's pendant once again. Sprigatito then teamed up with Roy's soon-to-be Fuecoco in order to battle against Amethio's Ceruledge. Despite the numerical advantage, Ceruledge was clearly dominating the battle, which ultimately came to a halt when a Black Rayquaza emerged from Roy's Ancient Poké Ball and started attacking, forcing the Explorers to retreat.

In Special Training with Cap!, Sprigatito briefly sparred against Roy's Fuecoco. However, they didn't make much progress, as both Pokémon tired themselves into a draw after consecutive uses of Leafage and Ember. Later, after being unable to talk to Dot, Liko and Roy's determination to get stronger convinced Friede into holding a special training session for the rookies: this time, Sprigatito and Fuecoco faced off against Captain Pikachu and needed to land only a single hit on the Mouse Pokémon to win the match. While they initially struggled against his Double Team, Sprigatito managed to almost score a Scratch after her Trainer figured out Pikachu's behavior. After a lunch break, Sprigatito battled against Fuecoco once more in order to see how much the special training paid off. In the end, despite being at a type disadvantage, Sprigatito knocked Fuecoco out with her newly-learned Quick Attack, giving Liko the win. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know that the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea.

Sprigatito retrieving Liko's pendant

In Fly! Wattrel!!, Sprigatito and Liko went to Levincia after her Trainer saw an advertisement for the Spicy Herba Mystica that Murdock had wanted. However, unbeknownst to both of them, this was a trap set up by Spinel in order to steal Liko's pendant. After arriving in a dark alley, Sprigatito was put in a trance by Spinel's Beheeyem as he easily stole the pendant. It was later revealed in the next episode that Sprigatito went through a memory wipe thanks to Beheeyem, but regained her memory piece by piece. After jumping off a building with Liko, Sprigatito reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers. In Quaxly, We Can Do It, Sprigatito teamed up with Roy's Pokémon and Dot's Quaxly to battle Spinel's Pokémon. Although they were able to defeat his Magneton and Beheeyem, they nearly lost to his Umbreon. However, Sprigatito was able to get Liko's pendant back from Spinel.

In Kabu's Battle Training!, Sprigatito participated in a Gym challenge set up by Motostoke's Gym Leader Kabu. Sprigatito's role was to extinguish the Litwick flames while Fuecoco attempted to keep them lit. Sprigatito ended up gaining the advantage, only for Liko to give up on the challenge when she noticed Roy's improvement, upsetting Sprigatito. She then went on to battle alongside Fuecoco against Kabu's Centiskorch and Wakaba's Rolycoly. The two were unable to defeat Centiskorch and, when faced off against Rolycoly, Liko forfeited against Sprigatito's wishes so Wakaba could win, which greatly upset both Wakaba and Sprigatito.

Overgrow activated

In Charge! Galar Mine!, Sprigatito battled against the Explorers alongside Fuecoco until they encountered a Galarian Moltres that had an Ancient Poké Ball. After Moltres overwhelmed everyone and left Captain Pikachu injured, Sprigatito left the Galar Mine with Liko, Roy, and the Mouse Pokémon. In the next episode, Sprigatito was brought to the Motostoke Pokémon Center in order to recover. After recovering, Sprigatito battled Moltres again in an attempt to calm down the angry Pokémon. With the help of Arboliva's Seed Sower, it increased the power of Sprigatito's Leafage in order to have its sweet scent reach Moltres. This calmed the Legendary Pokémon down, and it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball, which allowed Liko to take it under her care.

In The Stolen Treasure, Sprigatito teamed up with Roy's Pokémon to battle against Tepen in order to get the Ancient Poké Ball back that he stole from them, but was put to sleep by the special Sleep Powder that his Foongus had.

In Farewell, Sprigatito?, Sprigatito ran away from the Brave Olivine, after she accidentally injured Liko during a practice battle against Fuecoco. She went to Marnya's home, as she saw her home nearby earlier while Liko was giving Hatenna and Terapagos a bath. When Liko arrived to claim her, Sprigatito refused to leave as she believed that she would hurt her Trainer again. However, Sprigatito was convinced by Liko that what happen before was an accident and knew that she would never want to hurt her on purpose. After understanding Liko's words, Sprigatito saw Hatenna and Terapagos snatched by a wild Spidops. She initially hesitated to use Leafage again to hurt her friends, but Liko encouraged her to use it, and she used it again. This time, she learned Magical Leaf to save them. After returning to the Brave Olivine, Sprigatito continued her practice battle against Fuecoco and won.

In A Challenge from the Explorers, Sprigatito was used to battle against Sidian's Garganacl. Despite her best efforts, none of her attacks seemed to faze the opposing Pokémon, who eventually used her Magical Leaf as a smokescreen to bind her and unleash a point-blank Salt Cure. This was enough to activate her Overgrow Ability, giving her a power boost in a pinch, but the battle was called off early due to new developments on the Explorers's plan.

In The Plan to Capture Rayquaza, Sprigatito played a part in stalling the Explorers until Dot arrived to deactivate the machine they were using. In the next episode, Sprigatito teamed up with Fuecoco, Quaxly, Captain Pikachu, and Friede's Charizard in order to battle against the Black Rayquaza. Collectively, they manage to create an opening for Fuecoco to unleash his Disarming Voice, but the Legendary Pokémon counterattacked with Draco Meteor, almost hitting Sprigatito if not by the sudden arrival of Amethio. Then, fueled up by her Trainer's determination, Sprigatito evolved into Floragato and was able to land a hit on the Legendary Pokémon, but collapsed from exhaustion.

In HZ046, Floragato traveled with Liko to Naranja Academy. After a tour and being introduced to some of the teachers, Floragato had a rematch against Ann's Dewott, mirroring the first battle she had under Liko's ownership. This time, Floragato was able to win the battle by using her type advantage and newfound dexterity to her advantage.

Floragato attacking Clodsire

In HZ047, Floragato headed to Cortondo with her Trainer for their Terastal Training test. She assisted Liko with successfully baking a matcha cake. In the subsequent battle against Katy, Floragato struggled to attack her Teddiursa due to Sweet Scent and Charm distracting her constantly. Liko swifty ordered her to use Magical Leaf to blow away the Sweet Scent and to land a hit on her opponent. Floragato then Terastallized into a Grass Tera Type to deal more damage to Teddiursa with a boosted Magical Leaf flurry. However, Teddiursa Terastallized into a Bug type, rendering the move not very effective and followed up with a powered-up, super-effective Fury Cutter, beating Floragato. Despite the loss, Liko and Floragato both passed the test due to their strong bond, efforts, and use of Terastallization at an appropriate time.

In HZ056, Floragato was used in a Tag Battle alongside Katy and her Lokix against Rika and her Clodsire and Dugtrio. Initially, Liko and Floragato struggled against Rika's move combinations, but thanks to both her and Katy reminding Liko of the importance of enjoying herself while battling, she regained her composure and Floragato started to battle more effectively. After Lokix gets knocked out, Floragato was left to battle both Clodsire and Dugtrio on her own. Despite her best efforts, even learning a new move in Acrobatics, Floragato was defeated after her Terastallization-boosted Magical Leaf was overpowered by Clodsire's Terastallization-boosted Earth Power, resulting in Rika's victory.

Floragato battling Cetitan

In HZ063, Liko used Floragato as her first Pokémon in her battle against Grusha for her second Terastal Training test. She first battled Cetitan but, due to her type disadvantage against the Ice type, she found herself being given a hard time. Floragato was then switched out in favor of Hattrem before returning to the field when the latter was defeated. She managed to stop Cetitan cold by firing her Magical Leaf attack into its mouth, forcing Grusha to switch it out with Altaria, who put the Grass Cat Pokémon in a precarious spot with its aerial attacks. Liko then ordered Floragato to grab onto Altaria's legs with her vine and hit it with Acrobatics, causing the Humming Pokémon to fall to the ground. Both Liko and Grusha Terastallized their Pokémon, both of whom engaged in one final clash of Magical Leaf and Ice Beam, with Altaria's Ice Beam winning out. With Floragato's defeat, Liko lost the match. Afterward, Grusha informed Liko that she failed the test and there would be no rematch, much to Liko and the others' shock, leaving her in despair.

In HZ064, Floragato accompanied her Trainer to the peak of Glaseado Mountain to cheer her up after their previous loss. Along the way, the two were separated from Roy and Dot by Chalce's Medicham, whose Trainer was working with Spinel to spy on them. Floragato was then used to battle Amethio's Ceruledge after a sudden encounter with him. In stark contrast to their previous battle, Floragato was actually able to put up a fight and strategize by dodging Ceruledge's Fire-type moves thanks to her and Liko's training. When Amethio got serious and Terastalized Ceruledge, Floragato was overwhelmed and nearly defeated, until Spinel and his Umbreon suddenly interfered. After witnessing Spinel using the Laquium to shockingly empower his Umbreon against Ceruledge to defeat it, Floragato and her Trainer were surprised by Terapagos using its Terastal form to destroy the Laquium's effects. Floragato and Liko then followed Amethio and Ceruledge in chasing down Spinel for answers but were trapped in a cave as a result.

In HZ066, Floragato and Liko were informed of the Explorers' activities at Naranja Academy. After encountering Sidian on the school bridge, Floragato was soon used to battle against Sidian's Garganacl. When her opponent got serious and Terastallized his Pokémon, Floragato found herself in difficulty and Sidian told Liko to give up and surrender Terapagos. Liko refused to give up and Terastallized Floragato, allowing her to defeat Garganacl with a boosted Magical Leaf, forcing Sidian to retreat. Later, Floragato and Liko encountered Grusha, who told them to meet him in Clavell's room. To her big surprise, Liko was not punished for Terastallizing and Grusha had surprisingly passed Liko in his assessment after witnessing her heroic actions and victory in battle.

In HZ067, Floragato battled against Roy's Fuecoco in the Course Students Battle Tournament. Both Pokémon were evenly matched, with Fuecoco increasing his speed with Flame Charge and Floragato using her vine to grab him. Floragato then went up against Kilowattrel after Roy swapped out Fuecoco. She struggled against her aerial opponent and got paralyzed by Spark, prompting Liko to switch her for Hattrem. Hattrem managed to cure Floragato of her status condition with her Healer Ability before being defeated. Back against Kilowattrel, she tricked it with her vine and defeated it with Scratch. Floragato and Fuecoco faced off again, with Floragato even learning Sucker Punch. However, thanks to singing from Roy and the crowd, Fuecoco evolved into Crocalor. Both Pokémon soon Terastallized, but Floragato was defeated, losing Liko the battle. After the battle, Floragato and her Trainer met up with Katy and Grusha, who encouraged them to not give up and get stronger in the future.

In HZ068, Floragato faced off against Lucius's Arboliva in a training battle, with both Pokémon clashing with Magical Leaf. She struggled against her opponent's power at first, but then used Magical Leaf as a blind to wrap her vine around Arboliva before unleashing a supereffective Acrobatics on it. Floragato was then Terastallized to do more damage, although Arboliva was not defeated, it was impressed by Liko and Floragato's strength and returned to its Poké Ball.

Personality and characteristics

Sprigatito being easily provoked

Floragato has shown to be brave, headstrong, and somewhat reckless. As a Sprigatito, she was not the affectionate type nor an attention-seeker, both traits common of her species, to the point of being hostile to humans if they tried to display affection. As the time passed, specially since the events of The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two), her initial coldness and hostility towards those around her has mellowed out as she became friendlier with people and Pokémon alike, but has not outright disappeared: when she first met Diana in Reunion at the Ancient Castle, she tried to scratch her, probably in response to what she was saying. Much like her Trainer, she can be cautious of trusting others, a trait first seen when Amethio presented himself to them in The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One), but otherwise has no reservations and can easily make friends.

She has shown to be relaxed and overall unimpressed with various things. She enjoys sunbathing and, as revealed in Special Training with Cap!, dry-flavored food, with a special liking to matcha, but has been seen enjoying sweets in The Bittersweet Truth. In addition, she is easily startled by loud noises and has shown to be easily provokable, as seen during her first training match against Captain Pikachu, in which his Double Team strategy frustrated her. Despite being a Grass-type Pokémon, she doesn't like water.

Floragato and Liko

Initially, Sprigatito was a lot more free-spirited and did not seem interested in Liko at all, scratching her hand during their first meeting and running off to mind her own business. However, after witnessing the effort her Trainer was putting in order to actually understand her habits, she started to break out of her shell and eventually came to appreciate her affection, allowing Liko to carry her on her arms or taking the initiative to sit on her shoulder or atop her head. Furthermore, upon witnessing the lengths her Trainer was willing to go in order to protect her, even during their initial hardships, such as when they were falling from a height at the Indigo Academy or when Liko rescued her from the Explorers, she became very loyal to Liko. Although their bond is pretty strong, she gets upset with her Trainer at times, specially if Liko does something she doesn't like or approve of, but does understand her well-meaning intentions to help their friends.

Ever since her time at Marnya's house, Sprigatito was insecure and afraid of her own strength, as she feared causing serious harm to her friends. Liko attributed this reasoning to explain Sprigatito's initial aversion to using Leafage when they first met. However, through Liko's support and encouragement, she let go of her fear and became more confident in herself, coming around to enjoy battling and developing a desire to become stronger.

Floragato with Hatenna and Terapagos

Sprigatito has shown to get jealous of other Pokémon taking or winning Liko's affection and getting along with her, as seen with Alex's Fidough in Welcome to Paldea! and Terapagos in Terapagos's Adventure. However, Sprigatito quickly let go of her envy after she befriended them. Although, when Liko met a wild Hatenna and took care of her in The Lonely Hatenna, she didn't show any sign of jealousy towards her, as she helped her Trainer look after the Calm Pokémon, which led them to form a close friendship and become teammates when her Trainer caught her, after encouraging her to stay with them. Ever since Hatenna joined the group, Sprigatito became protective of her, as she came to see her as her little sister and would get concerned when she would wander off on her own, as shown in As Long as I'm with My Friends, when she ran away from Dot's strong emotions, but was relieved that she was safe when the group found her. They maintain their friendship after they both evolved at different points.

Floragato's fur becoming sharp

As a Sprigatito, Floragato was capable of releasing a sweet scent from her paws that relaxed those who smelled it. Sunbathing strengthen the power of her sweet scent, as noted by Liko herself. This aroma was strong enough to put Zirc's Rhydon to sleep in the middle of their battle in The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One) and to calm Lucius's Galarian Moltres down in Fiery Galarian Moltres. Moreover, Floragato has shown to be a tactic battler and was specially adept at using her Leafage, and later Magical Leaf, for various purposes. In Farewell, Sprigatito?, it was revealed that her proficiency with the move had garnered her some popularity around Marnya's house even before partnering with Liko. Since becoming her Pokémon, however, Sprigatito gained even more control over Leafage: as of Kabu's Battle Training!, she became able to control its speed, quantity, and power to better suit the situation. Her Leafage can also be used to spread her sweet scent over large areas, as seen in Fiery Galarian Moltres, and to blind opponents, usually in preparation for a sneak attack or for escaping—both applications point to Floragato's natural ingenuity, which matches perfectly with Liko's observational skills, allowing her to circumvent her lack of raw strength.

She then fires off several Leafage attacks, spreading the aroma all around the area to calm down the target. Wattrel and Charizard flap their wings to blow the aromatic Leafage in the opponent's direction. This was used to calm down Lucius's Galarian Moltres.
