Strong point: Defense — higher than 82% of species. Its weakest point is Speed — lower than 98% of species. Taken together these numbers say little in its favor: below 86% of the Pokédex. On defense it has 4 weaknesses and 5 resistances. Watch out for the Ground type — damage from it is quadrupled. 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. 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.
Which nature to choose
It hits physically: its Attack (80) is 50 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Adamant +Atk · −SpA It moves second and nothing will change that, so the whole boost goes into power.
- Brave +Atk · −Spe The Trick Room version: with the turn order reversed, the slower the better, and Gyro Ball calculates its power from exactly this lowered Speed.
- 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 11
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.
