Its strongest point is Sp. Atk — higher than 69% of species. On the other hand, Defense — among the lowest in the entire Pokédex. 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. In defense it has 6 weaknesses and 2 resistances at its disposal. 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. Weak point: Defense.
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
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (85) is 55 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.
- 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.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.
