Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Speed.

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

The stats describe a physical wall — it hits weakly on both sides, but its Defense stays high. A nature does not touch HP, so extra bulk can only be added on this side.

  • Impish +Def · −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 Galar Pokédex this form has the same position as the base form.

Hoenn #013 Ruby / Sapphire , Emerald , Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire
Kalos #013 X / Y
Galar #032 home region Sword / Shield
Crown Tundra #072 home region Sword / Shield , Sword/Shield: The Crown Tundra

Pokédex entry

LINOONE always runs full speed and only in straight lines. If facing an obstacle, it makes a right-angle turn to evade it. This POKéMON is very challenged by gently curving roads.
