Its greatest asset is Defense — higher than 97% of species. Weak point: Sp. Atk — lower than 74% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. Defensively it can rely on 4 weaknesses, 9 resistances and 3 full immunities. Normal, Fighting and Poison-type moves do nothing to it at all.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Def; weak point: Attack.
Defense 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
The stats describe a physical wall — it hits weakly on both sides, but its Defense stays high. A nature does not touch HP, so extra bulk can only be added on this side.
- Bold +Def · −Atk Raises what this species uses to absorb hits, at the cost of Attack — a stat it does not use anyway.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

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.
