Meloetta#648

Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — higher than 96% of species. Its stat total puts it at the very top: more than 94% of species fall behind. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses, 1 resistance and 1 full immunity. Ghost-type moves do nothing to it at all. This is a Mythical Pokémon — it does not appear in normal gameplay; it was handed out at events and through distributions. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Def.

Sp. Atk and Sp. Def 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

It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (128) is 51 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 74% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.

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

How players use it

Data from 44,274 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 UU, 2026-07). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 UU is one tier lower: it is played without the Pokémon most often used in OU, so the same species hold completely different places here.

Rank 262 among 274 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.01% of teams.

Tera Type Fighting 86.2% Ghost 6.1% Normal 4.3% Grass 1.2% Dark 1.2%
EV spreads Timid · 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP 48.9% Hasty · 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpD 17.3% Modest · 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD 9.1% Jolly · 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpD 8.5% Jolly · 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP 7.2%

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.
