Its strongest point is Sp. Def — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. On the other hand, Attack — lower than 92% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. In defense it has 2 weaknesses, 5 resistances and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Watch out for the Electric type — damage from it is quadrupled.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Def; weak point: Attack.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Def, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (80) is 40 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Modest +SpA · −Atk The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
- Timid +Spe · −Atk Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up power.
- Swift Swim doubles Speed in rain. Calculate Speed benchmarks with the ability active — it may change the point of a +Spe or −Spe nature.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

As it majestically swims, it doesn't care if REMORAID attach to it for scavenging its leftovers.

Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 111 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.
The Egg hatches after 25 cycles, which is roughly 6,600 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
