Its greatest asset is Defense — higher than 78% of species. Weak point: Speed — lower than 85% of species. Defensively it can rely on 1 weakness, 8 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for the Fire type — damage from it is quadrupled.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Def; weak point: Speed.
Defense and Sp. Def share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.
Which nature to choose
Attack (69) and Sp. Atk (69) are nearly equal, so neither of these two stats can be lowered for free. The price has to be paid in defense — in the weaker one, because Defense does not stop anything here anyway.
- Brave +Atk · −Spe Slow and attacking on both sides — the cheapest thing to give up is what it does not have. Under Trick Room this drop actually helps.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.
Abilities
- Anticipation Notifies all trainers upon entering battle if an opponent has a super-effective move, self destruct, explosion, or a one-hit KO move.
- Overcoat Protects against damage from weather.
