Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Weak point: Speed — lower than 78% of species. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses and 4 resistances.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk; weak point: Speed.
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 (145) is 75 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- 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.
Abilities
- Levitate Evades ground moves.
