Terapagos (Terastal)#10276

Its stats are balanced — none stands out enough to force a single team role on it. In base stat total it is among the strongest — higher than 94% of species. In defense it has 1 weakness and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Ghost-type moves do nothing to it at all. This is a Legendary Pokémon: one per game, no offspring. Very easy to catch, often with the first Poké Ball.

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

Defense and Sp. Def 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 specially: its Sp. Atk (105) is 10 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 70% 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

  • Tera Shell All damage-dealing moves that hit the Pokémon when its HP is full will not be very effective.
