Pokédex · III (Hoenn)

Ralts#280

Compared with other species it is not impressive; its strongest stat is Sp. Atk. On the other hand, Defense — among the lowest in the entire Pokédex. Its base stat total is weak: lower than 99% of species. 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. In defense it has 3 weaknesses, 2 resistances and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Dragon-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: 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 (45) is 20 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 It moves second and nothing will change that, so the whole boost goes into power.
  • Quiet +SpA · −Spe The Trick Room version: with the turn order reversed, the slower the better, and Gyro Ball calculates its power from exactly this lowered Speed.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

TCG cards (24)

All Ralts cards →

Ralts has 24 cards in 19 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

Offspring can come from 123 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 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.
