Its strongest point is Attack — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. In base stat total it is among the strongest — higher than 100% of species. In defense it has 2 weaknesses, 5 resistances and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Watch out for the Water type — damage from it is quadrupled. This is a Legendary Pokémon: one per game, no offspring. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.
Base stats
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.
Primal Reversion 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 (180) is 30 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 74% 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
- Desolate Land Creates extremely harsh sunlight, which has all the properties of Sunny Day, cannot be replaced, and causes damaging Water moves to fail.
Pokédex entry
