Among other species it looks pale; its highest stat is Attack. Its weakest point is Defense — lower than 86% of species. On defense it has 4 weaknesses and 7 resistances. Watch out for the Water, Ground types — damage from them is quadrupled.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Weak point: Defense.
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 (75) is 10 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Adamant +Atk · −SpA The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
- Jolly +Spe · −SpA Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up 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.
