Pokédex · II (Johto)

Unown#201

Compared with other species it looks modest; its best stat is Attack. Weak point: Speed — lower than 72% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. Defensively it can rely on 3 weaknesses and 2 resistances. It cannot breed — it has no Egg Group, so you will not get it from breeding. Very easy to catch, often with the first Poké Ball.

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

Attack and Sp. Atk 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

Attack (72) and Sp. Atk (72) are nearly equal, so neither of these two stats can be lowered for free. The price has to be paid in defense — in the weaker one, because Defense does not stop anything here anyway.

  • Brave +Atk · −Spe Slow and attacking on both sides — the cheapest thing to give up is what it does not have. Under Trick Room this drop actually helps.

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