Its strongest point is Defense — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. On the other hand, Sp. Atk — lower than 92% of species. In defense it has 6 weaknesses and 4 resistances at its disposal. Watch out for the Fighting, Steel types — damage from them is quadrupled.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Defense; weak point: Sp. Def.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Defense, 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 (127) is 93 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Adamant +Atk · −SpA It moves second and nothing will change that, so the whole boost goes into power.
- Brave +Atk · −Spe The Trick Room version: with the turn order reversed, the slower the better, and Gyro Ball calculates its power from exactly this lowered Speed.
- 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.
Regional numbers 7

How players use it
Data from 730,502 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 OU, 2026-08). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 OU is the most popular format with no top-down team restrictions — everything is allowed except what was deemed too strong.
Rank 175 among 291 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.06% 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
Its ice-covered body is as hard as steel. Its cumbersome frame crushes anything that stands in its way.
