Strong point: Sp. Atk — higher than 92% of species. Its weakest point is Speed — lower than 77% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. On defense it has 6 weaknesses and 4 resistances. Watch out for the Ice type — damage from it is quadrupled. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP; 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 (120) is 40 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.

How players use it
Data from 44,274 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 UU, 2026-07). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 UU is one tier lower: it is played without the Pokémon most often used in OU, so the same species hold completely different places here.
Rank 12 among 274 Pokémon in use — it is on 13.96% of teams.
Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.
Pokédex entry
Seven syrpents live inside an apple made of syrup. The syrpent in the center is the commander.

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 →Offspring can come from 154 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.
The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 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.
