Strong point: Attack — higher than 83% of species. Overall it is one of the stronger species — above 94% of the Pokédex. On defense it has 4 weaknesses, 7 resistances and 1 full immunity. Dragon-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.
Attack and Defense 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
Attack (110) and Sp. Atk (110) 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.
- Naive +Spe · −SpD A mixed set that does not intend to take any hits: all that matters is striking first.
- Naughty +Atk · −SpD The same price, but the boost goes into the stronger of the two offensive stats.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.
Abilities
- Pixilate Turns the bearer's normal moves into fairy moves and strengthens them to 1.3× their power.
