Drifloon#425

Strong point: HP — higher than 78% of species. Its weakest point is Defense — lower than 96% 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. On defense it has 5 weaknesses, 3 resistances and 3 full immunities. Normal, Fighting and Ground-type moves do nothing to it at all.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP; weak point: Defense.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Speed, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

The stats describe a special wall — it hits weakly on both sides, but its Sp. Def stays high. A nature does not touch HP, so extra bulk can only be added on this side. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.

• Calm +SpD · −Atk Raises what this species uses to absorb hits, at the cost of Attack — a stat it does not use anyway.

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

The Egg hatches after 30 cycles, which is roughly 7,900 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.
