Pokédex · VIII (Galar)

Calyrex#898

Its stats are balanced — none stands out enough to force a single team role on it. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. In defense it has 7 weaknesses and 6 resistances at its disposal. Watch out for the Bug type — damage from it is quadrupled. 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: HP.

Attack and Defense 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 (80) and Sp. Atk (80) 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.

  • Hasty +Spe · −Def A mixed set that does not intend to take any hits: all that matters is striking first.
  • Lonely +Atk · −Def The same price, but the boost goes into the stronger of the two offensive stats.

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