Its greatest asset is HP — higher than 95% of species. Weak point: Speed — lower than 93% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. Defensively it can rely on 4 weaknesses and 5 resistances.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP; weak point: Speed.
Attack and Sp. Atk share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.
Which nature to choose
Attack (85) and Sp. Atk (85) 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.
- Brave +Atk · −Spe Slow and attacking on both sides — the cheapest thing to give up is what it does not have. Under Trick Room this drop actually helps.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

How players use it
Data from 574,541 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 OU, 2026-09). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 OU is the most popular format with no top-down team restrictions — everything is allowed except what was deemed too strong.
Rank 93 among 309 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.62% of teams.
Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.
Pokédex entry
