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 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 (85) is 25 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Modest +SpA · −Atk The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up power.

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

Regional numbers 8
