Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Weak point: Defense — lower than 72% of species. Its stat total puts it at the very top: more than 94% of species fall behind. Defensively it can rely on 1 weakness and 3 resistances.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk.
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.
Mega Evolution adds a fixed pool of one hundred points and replaces the ability with a single one.
Which nature to choose
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (160) is 60 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 98% 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.

Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
