Pokédex · VII (Alola)

Stakataka#805

Its strongest point is Defense — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. On the other hand, Speed — among the lowest in the entire Pokédex. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. In defense it has 3 weaknesses, 8 resistances and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Watch out for the Fighting, Ground types — damage from them is quadrupled. It cannot breed — it has no Egg Group, so you will not get it from breeding.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Defense; weak point: Speed.

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

It hits physically: its Attack (131) is 78 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA It moves second and nothing will change that, so the whole boost goes into power.
  • Brave +Atk · −Spe The Trick Room version: with the turn order reversed, the slower the better, and Gyro Ball calculates its power from exactly this lowered Speed.
  • Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.

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