Gigantamax Urshifu (Rapid Strike)#10227

Its greatest asset is Attack — higher than 94% of species. Defensively it can rely on 5 weaknesses and 7 resistances. This is a Legendary Pokémon: one per game, no offspring. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.

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

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.

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

It hits physically: its Attack (130) is 67 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 83% 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.

Abilities

  • Unseen Fist Contact moves can strike through Protect/Detect.

Pokédex entry
