Its strongest point is Sp. Atk — higher than 77% of species. On the other hand, Attack — lower than 83% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. In defense it has 3 weaknesses and 2 resistances at its disposal.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk; weak point: Attack.
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 (95) is 45 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- 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.

Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 57 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.
