Its strongest point is Defense — higher than 94% of species. On the other hand, Speed — lower than 98% of species. In defense it has 1 weakness, 1 resistance and 3 full immunities at its disposal. Normal, Fighting and Psychic-type moves do nothing to it at all.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Defense; weak point: Speed.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Defense, 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
Attack (85) and Sp. Atk (85) 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 Sp. Def 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
- Magic Bounce Reflects most non-damaging moves back at their user.
