Patrat#504

Compared with other species it looks modest; its best stat is Attack. Weak point: Sp. Atk — lower than 92% of species. Its stat total lands at the tail end — below 94% 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 1 weakness and 1 full immunity. Ghost-type moves do nothing to it at all. Very easy to catch, often with the first Poké Ball.

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

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

Which nature to choose

It hits physically: its Attack (55) is 20 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.

  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA It moves second and nothing will change that, so the whole boost goes into power.
  • Brave +Atk · −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.
  • Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.

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

Breeding

All Egg Groups →

Offspring can come from 275 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.
