Its strongest point is Attack — higher than 59% of species. On the other hand, Speed — lower than 65% 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. In defense it has 4 weaknesses and 6 resistances at its disposal.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value.
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 (85) and Sp. Atk (85) 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. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.
- Lonely +Atk · −Def The boost goes into the stronger offensive stat and the drop into a defense that does not decide anything anyway.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.
