Koraidon (Gliding Build)#10267

Its strongest point is Attack — higher than 97% of species. In base stat total it is among the strongest — higher than 98% of species. In defense it has 5 weaknesses and 7 resistances at its disposal. Watch out for the Fairy type — damage from it is quadrupled. This is a Legendary Pokémon: one per game, no offspring. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Speed.

Attack and Speed share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.

Which nature to choose

It hits physically: its Attack (135) is 50 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 98% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting 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.

Legendary

Abilities

  • Orichalcum Pulse Turns the sunlight harsh when entering battle, and boosts Attack while active.
