Strong point: HP — higher than 87% of species. Its weakest point is Speed — lower than 77% of species. This is not the final form yet — it evolves once more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. On defense it has 1 weakness and 1 full immunity. Ghost-type moves do nothing to it at all.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP; weak point: Speed.
Attack and Defense 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 (70) and Sp. Atk (65) 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 Sp. Def does not stop anything here anyway. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.
- 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.
