Its strongest point is Attack — higher than 98% of species. On the other hand, Sp. Atk — lower than 96% of species. In defense it has 4 weaknesses and 1 resistance at its disposal.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Attack; weak point: Sp. Atk.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Attack, 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 (140) is 110 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 79% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
- Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
- 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 5
