Wishiwashi#746

Among other species it looks pale; its highest stat is HP. Its weakest point is Defense — among the lowest in the entire Pokédex. Taken together these numbers say little in its favor: below 100% of the Pokédex. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. On defense it has 2 weaknesses and 4 resistances.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Speed, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

Attack (20) and Sp. Atk (25) 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.

• Quiet +SpA · −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.

Offspring can come from 33 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 15 cycles, which is roughly 4,100 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.
