Its greatest asset is Attack — higher than 96% of species. Its stat total puts it at the very top: more than 99% 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 4 weaknesses, 3 resistances and 2 full immunities. Ground and Psychic-type moves do nothing to it at all. This is a Legendary Pokémon: one per game, no offspring.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP.
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 (131) and Sp. Atk (131) 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.
