Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Attack.

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 (150) is 55 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
  • Jolly +Spe · −SpA Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up 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.
  • Swift Swim doubles Speed in rain. Calculate Speed benchmarks with the ability active — it may change the point of a +Spe or −Spe nature.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Abilities

  • Swift Swim Doubles Speed during rain.
