Its greatest asset is Sp. Def — higher than 92% of species. Weak point: Attack — lower than 78% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. Defensively it can rely on 3 weaknesses and 2 resistances.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Def; weak point: Attack.
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
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (95) is 40 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Modest +SpA · −Atk The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
- Timid +Spe · −Atk Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up power.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.
