Snover#459

Compared with other species it looks modest; its best stat is Attack. Weak point: Speed — lower than 83% 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. Defensively it can rely on 7 weaknesses and 4 resistances. Watch out for the Fire type — damage from it is quadrupled.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Weak point: Speed.

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 (62) and Sp. Atk (62) 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. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.

• Brave +Atk · −Spe Slow and attacking on both sides — the cheapest thing to give up is what it does not have. Under Trick Room this drop actually helps.

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

Offspring can come from 156 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 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.
