Strong point: Defense — higher than 77% of species. Its weakest point is HP — lower than 68% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. On defense it has 2 weaknesses, 9 resistances and 2 full immunities. Poison and Dragon-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: Defense.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Defense, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
Attack (80) and Sp. Atk (80) 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 Sp. Def does not stop anything here anyway.
- Naive +Spe · −SpD A mixed set that does not intend to take any hits: all that matters is striking first.
- Naughty +Atk · −SpD 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.

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 80 among 309 Pokémon in use — it is on 1.01% 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.

TCG cards (6)
All Klefki cards →Klefki has 6 cards in 6 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →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.
