Its greatest asset is Attack — higher than 69% of species. Weak point: Sp. Def — lower than 79% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. Defensively it can rely on 5 weaknesses, 3 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for the Rock type — damage from it is quadrupled.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk; weak point: Sp. Def.
Attack and Sp. Atk 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 (94) and Sp. Atk (94) 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.
- 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.

TCG cards (5)
All Mothim cards →Mothim has 5 cards in 5 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.
