Pokédex · VIII (Galar)

Blipbug#824

Among other species it looks pale; its highest stat is Sp. Def. 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. 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. On defense it has 3 weaknesses and 3 resistances. Very easy to catch, often with the first Poké Ball.

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

Sp. Def 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

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. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.

  • 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 90 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.
