Vanillish#583

Its strongest point is Sp. Atk — higher than 64% of species. On the other hand, HP — lower than 74% 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. In defense it has 4 weaknesses and 1 resistance at its disposal.

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 (80) is 15 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 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.

Offspring can come from 51 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.
