Its greatest asset is Attack — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Weak point: Sp. Atk — lower than 87% of species. Its stat total puts it at the very top: more than 94% of species fall behind. Defensively it can rely on 4 weaknesses and 5 resistances. Watch out for the Flying type — damage from it is quadrupled.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Attack; weak point: Sp. Atk.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Attack, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Mega Evolution adds a fixed pool of one hundred points and replaces the ability with a single one.
Which nature to choose
It hits physically: its Attack (185) is 145 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 61% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
- Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
- Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.
Abilities
- Skill Link Extends two-to-five-hit moves and triple kick to their full length every time.
Pokédex entry
It is usually docile, but if it is disturbed while sipping honey, it chases off the intruder with its horn.
