Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk.

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

Which nature to choose

It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (125) is 60 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • 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.

How players use it

Data from 44,274 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 UU, 2026-07). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 UU is one tier lower: it is played without the Pokémon most often used in OU, so the same species hold completely different places here.

Rank 235 among 274 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.02% of teams.

Tera Type Flying 41.4% Grass 23.1% Ground 20.6% Fairy 10.6% Ice 2.7% Poison 1.6%

Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.

TCG cards (4)

All Frosmoth cards →

Frosmoth has 4 cards in 4 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

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 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.
