Pokédex · VIII (Galar)

Spectrier#897

Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Weak point: Defense — lower than 66% of species. Its stat total puts it at the very top: more than 91% of species fall behind. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses, 2 resistances and 2 full immunities. Normal and Fighting-type moves do nothing to it at all. This is a Legendary Pokémon: one per game, no offspring. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.

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 (145) is 80 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 98% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.

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

It probes its surroundings with all its senses save one—it doesn’t use its sense of sight. Spectrier’s kicks are said to separate soul from body.

Spectrier does not breed. You cannot get an Egg from it — this is how the games treat almost all Legendary and Mythical species.
