Its greatest asset is Attack — higher than 82% of species. Defensively it can rely on 5 weaknesses, 6 resistances and 1 full immunity. Psychic-type moves do nothing to it at all.
Base stats
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.
Which nature to choose
Attack (108) and Sp. Atk (100) 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 Sp. Def does not stop anything here anyway.
- Naive +Spe · −SpD A mixed set that does not intend to take any hits: all that matters is striking first.
- Naughty +Atk · −SpD 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.
Regional numbers 5
The header shows the national number. Inside the game the Pokédex counts from the beginning — below is the number you will see in your version. The number belongs to the species, not to the form: in the Hisui Pokédex this form has the same position as the base form.
| Unova | #009 | Black / White , Black 2 / White 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Pokémon Conquest | #108 | — |
| Hisui | #009 home region | Legends: Arceus |
| Blueberry Academy | #208 | Scarlet / Violet , Scarlet/Violet: The Indigo Disk |

How players use it
Data from 574,541 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 OU, 2026-09). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits.
Rank 14 among 309 Pokémon in use — it is on 13.15% 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
One swing of the sword incorporated in its armor can fell an opponent. A simple glare from one of them quiets everybody.
