Its strongest point is Sp. Def — higher than 64% of species. On the other hand, Sp. Atk — lower than 87% of species. In defense it has 3 weaknesses, 1 resistance and 2 full immunities at its disposal. Watch out for the Fighting type — damage from it is quadrupled.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Weak point: Sp. Atk.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Def, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
The stats describe a special wall — it hits weakly on both sides, but its Sp. Def stays high. A nature does not touch HP, so extra bulk can only be added on this side.
- Careful +SpD · −SpA Raises what this species uses to absorb hits, at the cost of Sp. Atk — a stat it does not use anyway.
- 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.
Regional numbers 4
The header shows the national number. Inside the game the Pokédex counts from the beginning — below is the number you will see in your version. The number belongs to the species, not to the form: in the Alola Pokédex this form has the same position as the base form.
| Kanto | #020 | Red/Green (Japan) , Blue (Japan) , Red / Blue , Yellow , FireRed / LeafGreen , Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee |
|---|---|---|
| Johto | #018 | Gold / Silver , Crystal , HeartGold / SoulSilver |
| Unova | #060 | Black 2 / White 2 |
| Alola | #016 home region | Sun / Moon , Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon |

It uses its whis kers to maintain its balance. It apparently slows down if they are cut off.
