Emolga#587

Strong point: Speed — higher than 88% of species. Its weakest point is HP — lower than 73% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. On defense it has 2 weaknesses, 5 resistances and 1 full immunity. Ground-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. Strong point: Speed.

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

Which nature to choose

Attack (75) and Sp. Atk (75) 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.

• Hasty +Spe · −Def A mixed set that does not intend to take any hits: all that matters is striking first.
• Lonely +Atk · −Def The same price, but the boost goes into the stronger of the two offensive stats.

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

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 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.
