Strong point: Sp. Atk — higher than 55% of species. Its weakest point is Speed — lower than 93% of species. Taken together these numbers say little in its favor: below 90% of the Pokédex. 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 and 4 resistances.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Weak point: Attack.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Atk, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (70) is 35 points higher than its Attack. 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.
- Modest +SpA · −Atk It moves second and nothing will change that, so the whole boost goes into power.
- Quiet +SpA · −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.
- Chlorophyll doubles Speed in harsh sunlight. Calculate Speed benchmarks with the ability active — it may change the point of a +Spe or −Spe nature.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

TCG cards (6)
All Petilil cards →Petilil has 6 cards in 6 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 87 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.
