Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Its stat total puts it at the very top: more than 98% of species fall behind. Defensively it can rely on 6 weaknesses and 4 resistances. Watch out for the Ice 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. Atk.
Sp. Atk and Speed share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.
Mega Evolution adds a fixed pool of one hundred points and replaces the ability with a single one.
Which nature to choose
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (145) is 35 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 99% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
- Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.
Abilities
- Lightning Rod Redirects single-target electric moves to this Pokémon where possible. Absorbs Electric moves, raising Special Attack one stage.
