Roco Kingdom Puffly and Puffelion: Evolution, Stats and Brave Trait

Three little floating Jinies drifting through the grass might look completely harmless, but their evolution packs a surprising amount of power. In Roco Kingdom, Puffly evolves into Puffelion, a Flora / Charm-class Jini with impressive Physical Defense and a trait that makes expensive skills hit considerably harder. Its shared trait, Brave, increases the Power of skills costing more than 3 Energy by 40%, giving Puffelion access to some potentially devastating attacks. Here is how Puffly evolves, how their stats compare and how to make the most of their unusual battle potential.

The evolution line

Puffly evolves into Puffelion at Level 26. Both stages belong to the Flora and Charm classes.

1. Puffly (No. 069, Flora / Charm): A group of round, carefree Jinies that love warm sunlight. They usually travel in groups of three, floating gently above grassy fields and allowing the wind to carry them wherever it pleases. Their small bodies and cheerful expressions make them look more like drifting dandelion seeds than dangerous fighters.

1. Puffelion (No. 070, Flora / Charm): The evolved form features three tiny companions gathered around a large, soft, floating puffball. Its inner structure remains a mystery, but the three companions work together to control their movement, allowing them to ride the wind and travel freely.

Unlike evolution lines that develop larger limbs or more aggressive features, Puffly's transformation is centered around a much larger floating body and a more coordinated group of companions.

Both stages belong to the Plant and Sky Egg Groups, and their class combination remains unchanged after evolution.

Trait: Brave

For skills with Energy Cost greater than 3, increases their Power by 40%.

Both Puffly and Puffelion share this trait. Brave is a straightforward offensive ability that rewards players for using more expensive attacks.

Any skill with an Energy Cost of 4 or higher benefits from the 40% Power increase. Skills costing 3 Energy or less do not receive the bonus.

This gives Puffelion a strong incentive to use high-Power attacks rather than relying entirely on cheaper skills.

For example, Popcorn Blast is a Charm-class physical attack with 140 base Power and an Energy Cost of 5. With Brave active, its Power effectively increases to 196 before other damage modifiers.

Similarly, Cactus Spike, a Flora-class physical attack with 150 Power and an Energy Cost of 6, benefits from the same 40% increase.

The trait also works with qualifying magic attacks, allowing Puffelion to make use of both Physical Attack and Magic Attack.

However, expensive skills still require careful Energy management. Brave increases their damage potential but does not reduce their Energy Cost.

Stats at every stage

Here is how Species Aptitude grows from Puffly to Puffelion:

1. Puffly, 515 total: HP 89, Physical Attack 99, Magic Attack 94, Physical Defense 103, Magic Defense 78, Speed 52
2. Puffelion, 642 total: HP 111, Physical Attack 123, Magic Attack 117, Physical Defense 129, Magic Defense 97, Speed 65

Evolution increases total Species Aptitude by 127 points, from 515 to 642.

Puffelion's strongest stat is Physical Defense at 129, followed closely by Physical Attack at 123 and Magic Attack at 117.

This distribution gives Puffelion an unusual combination of defensive strength and offensive versatility. Its high Physical Defense allows it to withstand many physical attacks, while its balanced offensive stats let it take advantage of both physical and magical skills.

Physical Attack is slightly higher, making powerful physical moves such as Popcorn Blast and Cactus Spike especially attractive when paired with Brave.

Its 111 HP provides additional staying power, helping it remain on the field long enough to make use of expensive attacks.

However, Speed is its lowest stat at just 65. Puffelion will often act after faster opponents, so it benefits from defensive support and careful matchup selection.

Size and capture details:

1. Puffly: 0.3 to 0.5 m, 0.1 to 0.6 kg. Gives 24 Starlight and a 1,800 Roco Coin base review reward.
2. Puffelion: 0.7 to 1 m, 0.3 to 1.35 kg. Gives 42 Starlight and a 3,150 Roco Coin base review reward.

Despite its substantial increase in Species Aptitude, Puffelion remains remarkably lightweight, matching its ability to float through the air with its companions.

Class effectiveness

Puffly and Puffelion both belong to the Flora and Charm classes, giving them useful offensive coverage but several dangerous defensive weaknesses.

Puffly and Puffelion (Flora / Charm)

When attacking with Flora skills:

1. Deals ×2 damage to: Water, Light and Earth
2. Deals ×0.5 damage to: Fire, Dragon, Poison, Bug, Wing and Mech

When attacking with Charm skills:

1. Deals ×2 damage to: Dragon, Fighting and Havoc
2. Deals ×0.5 damage to: Fire, Poison and Mech

When defending as Flora / Charm:

1. Takes ×4 damage from: Poison
2. Takes ×2 damage from: Fire, Ice, Wing, Havoc and Mech
3. Takes ×0.5 damage from: Water, Light, Earth, Electro and Fighting

Unlisted matchups deal normal ×1 damage.

The combination of Flora and Charm provides impressive offensive coverage. Flora attacks are effective against Water, Light and Earth, while Charm attacks offer advantages against Dragon, Fighting and Havoc.

Water and Earth are particularly favorable matchups because Puffelion can deal double damage with Flora skills while resisting attacks from those classes.

However, the line has a major weakness to Poison. The supplied class chart lists Poison attacks as dealing quadruple damage, making Poison-class opponents especially dangerous.

Fire, Ice, Wing, Havoc and Mech attacks also deal increased damage, so Puffelion cannot rely on its high Physical Defense in every matchup.

Poison and Mech are particularly troublesome because they resist both Flora and Charm attacks, limiting Puffelion's offensive effectiveness.

Choosing the right opponent is essential for making the most of its powerful but relatively slow battle style.

Research skills

Puffelion has three listed research skills:

1. Cascade: A Common-class magic attack with 70 Power and an Energy Cost of 3. If the attack is not countered by a Defense skill, it removes all Marks from both sides of the battlefield.
2. Popcorn Blast: A Charm-class physical attack with 140 Power and an Energy Cost of 5. It deals direct physical damage and benefits from Brave's 40% Power increase.
3. Converging Beam: A Flora-class magic attack with 100 Power and an Energy Cost of 7. Each time another Flora-class skill is used, Converging Beam permanently gains 60 Power.

These skills provide several different ways to build Puffelion.

Cascade offers utility by removing Marks, making it useful against strategies that rely on accumulating status effects. However, its Energy Cost of 3 means it does not receive Brave's Power bonus.

Popcorn Blast is a strong physical attack that works directly with Brave. Its high base Power and relatively straightforward effect make it a useful offensive option.

Converging Beam offers a more gradual approach. Its Power increases as other Flora skills are used, allowing it to become considerably stronger as the battle progresses.

Because Converging Beam costs 7 Energy, it also qualifies for Brave's 40% Power bonus, making it a potentially powerful finishing attack.

Other available skills provide additional options.

Chloro Beam is a Flora-class magic attack with 120 Power and an Energy Cost of 4, allowing it to benefit from Brave without requiring as much Energy as Converging Beam.

Cactus Spike is a Flora-class physical attack with 150 Power and an Energy Cost of 6, making it another strong candidate for a Brave-focused moveset.

Etiolation restores 10 Energy at a cost of 2, helping Puffelion maintain the resources needed for its more expensive attacks.

Together, these skills allow Puffelion to combine powerful attacks, Energy recovery and utility while taking advantage of its balanced offensive stats.

Specialties

Both stages share the same Specialty odds:

1. None: 64%
2. Ambusher: 5.8%
3. Affectionate: 5.8%
4. Nimble: 5.8%
5. Fleetfoot: 5.8%
6. Shared Ride: 5.8%
7. Fearless: 5.8%
8. Sharer: 0.48%
9. Homebody: 0.48%
10. Helper: 0.48%
11. Merciful: 0.01%

Most Jinies in this evolution line have no Specialty, with a 64% probability.

Shared Ride is particularly interesting for Puffelion because its floating body makes it suitable for carrying another Roco during exploration.

Fleetfoot can provide additional movement utility, while Nimble improves gathering range.

Ambusher is useful for players who frequently capture wild Jinies, providing a guaranteed Backstab effect when throwing the Jini, including against highly vigilant Nightmare-Corrupted Jinies.

Merciful is the rarest possibility at just 0.01%, allowing the Jini to leave wild opponents with 1 HP instead of defeating them with a lethal attack.

Where to start

1. Evolve Puffly at Level 26. Puffelion's total Species Aptitude increases from 515 to 642, with major improvements in Physical Defense, Physical Attack and Magic Attack.
2. Build around Brave. Skills costing more than 3 Energy gain 40% Power, making Popcorn Blast, Cactus Spike and Converging Beam particularly attractive offensive options.
3. Take advantage of its defensive strength. Puffelion's 129 Physical Defense and 111 HP allow it to withstand many physical attacks, although its low Speed means careful positioning is important.
4. Use Flora and Charm coverage. Flora skills deal double damage to Water, Light and Earth, while Charm skills are effective against Dragon, Fighting and Havoc. Choose attacks based on the opponent's class.
5. Avoid Poison and other dangerous matchups. Poison is especially threatening, while Fire, Ice, Wing, Havoc and Mech attacks also deal increased damage. Keep a teammate ready to handle these unfavorable matchups.
