Appearance
Cutiefly is a very small, bee-like Pokemon with large wings as compared to the size of its body. Its body is pale yellow and its face and tail are white while it also has large eyes. It has two small transparent tufts on its head that closely resemble antennae with four spindly legs that have rounded feet.
Behavior
Cutiefly has the capability to sense the aura of living things and can use this ability to predict the movements of its opponents. It collects nectar and pollen from flowers, which is why it is often hovering around Gossifluer. Cutiefly tends to gather around beings with strong emotions because their auras are bigger and more attractive. Cutiefly typically lives in fields and forests.
Strengths and Weaknesses
As a Bug and Fairy type Pokémon, Cutiefly is weak against Flying, Poison, Rock, Steel and Fire type moves and will take twice the normal damage from them. It is immune to Dragon type Pokemon and is resistant to Fighting, Ground, Bug, Grass and Dark types, which will do half the damage. There is no advantage or disadvantage with Normal, Fairy, Ghost, Water, Electric, Ice and Psychic types.

How to catch Cutiefly in Pokemon Go?
Cutiefly is currently not in Pokemon Go as curiously, Niantic has (at least temporarily) skipped over Generation VII. All Generations up through VI have been added and more recently, Generation VIII and the Galarian forms have been added as well. Alolan forms of some Pokemon have made it, but none that first appeared in Alola. They will likely eventually make it, but haven’t yet.

Conclusion
Cutiefly is one of the best Pokemon to have for a couple of reasons. It, and Ribombee once it is evolved, is a very fast Pokemon, so it will often go first in battles. It has access to some really good moves like Leech Life that can be very useful when going first. Additionally, the type combination, Bug and Fairy, is totally unique, making it a really good addition to the team.
