Compared with other species it looks modest; its best stat is HP. Weak point: Speed — lower than 88% of species. Its stat total lands at the tail end — below 87% 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. Defensively it can rely on 5 weaknesses and 4 resistances. Very easy to catch, often with the first Poké Ball.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Weak point: Attack.
Defense and Sp. Def 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 (40) and Sp. Atk (40) 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.
- Brave +Atk · −Spe Slow and attacking on both sides — the cheapest thing to give up is what it does not have. Under Trick Room this drop actually helps.
- Quick Feet raises Speed by 50% when it has a status condition. 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.

All Shroomish cards →Shroomish has 9 cards in 9 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 136 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.
