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 Speed, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Gigantamax does not change any of these numbers — all 34 forms have the same stats, types and abilities as the base form.

Which nature to choose

Attack (55) and Sp. Atk (50) are nearly equal, so neither of these two stats can be lowered for free. The price has to be paid in defense — in the weaker one, because Defense does not stop anything here anyway.

  • Hasty +Spe · −Def A mixed set that does not intend to take any hits: all that matters is striking first.
  • Lonely +Atk · −Def The same price, but the boost goes into the stronger of the two offensive stats.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Abilities

  • Static Has a 30% chance of paralyzing attacking Pokémon on contact.
  • Lightning Rod Redirects single-target electric moves to this Pokémon where possible. Absorbs Electric moves, raising Special Attack one stage.
