Pokédex · III (Hoenn)

Zigzagoon#263

Among other species it looks pale; its highest stat is Speed. Its weakest point is Sp. Atk — lower than 96% of species. Taken together these numbers say little in its favor: below 96% of the Pokédex. This is not the final form yet — it evolves twice 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. 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: Attack.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Speed, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

Attack (30) and Sp. Atk (30) 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.

Pokédex entry

TCG cards (8)

All Zigzagoon cards →

Zigzagoon has 8 cards in 8 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

Offspring can come from 275 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 15 cycles, which is roughly 4,100 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.
