Its strongest point is Sp. Atk — higher than 60% of species. On the other hand, HP — lower than 93% of species. This is not the final form yet — it evolves once more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. In defense it has 5 weaknesses, 4 resistances and 2 full immunities at its disposal. Normal and Fighting-type moves do nothing to it at all.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Weak point: HP.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Atk, 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 (74) is 29 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.
- Modest +SpA · −Atk It moves second and nothing will change that, so the whole boost goes into power.
- Quiet +SpA · −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.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Supposedly, the regrets of a tea ceremony master who died before perfecting his craft lingered in some matcha and became a Pokémon.
Resistances and weaknesses

Variant gallery
The gallery shows only the appearance variants that exist for this Pokémon. Every image shows the same character and differs in source — a Pokémon HOME render or a pixel sprite — and in coloring, regular or shiny.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →This species is genderless, so its only possible partner is Ditto.
The Egg hatches after 50 cycles, which is roughly 13,000 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
