Its greatest asset is Speed — higher than 74% of species. Weak point: Defense — lower than 96% of species. Its stat total lands at the tail end — below 88% of species. Defensively it can rely on 3 weaknesses, 2 resistances and 1 full immunity. Psychic-type moves do nothing to it at all. Very easy to catch, often with the first Poké Ball.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Weak point: Defense.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Speed, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (50) is 15 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 74% 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.
Regional numbers 9
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.

Pokédex entry
It washes its face regularly to keep the coin on its forehead spotless. It doesn’t get along with Galarian Meowth.
