Pokédex · IV (Sinnoh)

Happiny#440

Strong point: HP — higher than 87% of species. Its weakest point is Defense — among the lowest in the entire Pokédex. Taken together these numbers say little in its favor: below 97% of the Pokédex. This is not the final form yet — it evolves twice more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. On defense it has 1 weakness and 1 full immunity. Ghost-type moves do nothing to it at all. It cannot breed — it has no Egg Group, so you will not get it from breeding.

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

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

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.
  • Sassy +SpD · −Spe The same defensive gain, paid for with Speed it does not have anyway. Under Trick Room the drop becomes an advantage.

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