Its greatest asset is HP — higher than 78% of species. Weak point: Speed — among the lowest in the entire Pokédex. Its stat total lands at the tail end — below 98% of species. This is not the final form yet — it evolves twice more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses, 2 resistances and 2 full immunities. Ghost and Dragon-type moves do nothing to it at all. It cannot breed — it has no Egg Group, so you will not get it from breeding.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP; weak point: Sp. Def.
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.
Which nature to choose
The stats describe a special wall — it hits weakly on both sides, but its Sp. Def stays high. A nature does not touch HP, so extra bulk can only be added on this side. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.
- Calm +SpD · −Atk Raises what this species uses to absorb hits, at the cost of Attack — a stat it does not use anyway.
- Sassy +SpD · −Spe The same defensive gain, paid for with Speed it does not have anyway. Under Trick Room the drop becomes an advantage.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.
