Gimmighoul (Roaming)#10263

Its greatest asset is Speed — higher than 65% of species. Weak point: Defense — among the lowest in the entire Pokédex. Its stat total lands at the tail end — below 86% of species. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses, 2 resistances and 2 full immunities. Normal and Fighting-type moves do nothing to it at all. It cannot breed — it has no Egg Group, so you will not get it from breeding.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Speed, 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 (75) is 45 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 65% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.

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

Abilities

  • Run Away Ensures success fleeing from wild battles.
