Dracovish#882

Its greatest asset is Defense — higher than 82% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses and 3 resistances. 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.

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 (90) is 20 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 61% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
  • 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.
  • Sand Rush doubles Speed in a sandstorm. Calculate Speed benchmarks with the ability active — it may change the point of a +Spe or −Spe nature.

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

Pokédex entry

Powerful legs and jaws made it the apex predator of its time. Its own overhunting of its prey was what drove it to extinction.
