Sobble#816

Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — higher than 55% of species. Weak point: Sp. Def — lower than 91% of species. This is not the final form yet — it evolves twice more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses and 4 resistances.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Weak point: Defense.

Sp. Atk and Speed 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

It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (70) is 30 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.

  • Modest +SpA · −Atk The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up power.

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

Offspring can come from 362 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.
