Strong point: Sp. Def — higher than 89% of species. Its weakest point is Speed — lower than 85% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. On defense it has 6 weaknesses and 5 resistances. Watch out for the Fire, Flying types — damage from them is quadrupled.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Def; weak point: Speed.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Def, 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 (79) is 20 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- 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 (10)
All Wormadam cards →Wormadam has 10 cards in 4 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 90 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.
