Arboliva#930

Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — higher than 93% of species. Weak point: Speed — lower than 83% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. Defensively it can rely on 6 weaknesses, 4 resistances and 1 full immunity. Ghost-type moves do nothing to it at all.

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

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 56 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Modest +SpA · −Atk It moves second and nothing will change that, so the whole boost goes into power.
  • Quiet +SpA · −Spe The Trick Room version: with the turn order reversed, the slower the better, and Gyro Ball calculates its power from exactly this lowered Speed.

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

The header shows the national number. Inside the game the Pokédex counts from the beginning — below is the number you will see in your version.

Paldea #086 Scarlet / Violet

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 200 among 274 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.05% of teams.

Tera Type Poison 51.3% Ghost 42.6% Grass 3.5% Fairy 2.1%
EV spreads Modest · 252 HP / 200 SpA / 56 Spe 85.4% Quiet · 252 SpA / 220 HP / 36 Atk 8.4% Calm · 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def 2.9% Modest · 252 SpA / 248 HP / 8 SpD 2.1%

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.

Pokédex entry

This calm Pokémon is very compassionate. It will share its delicious, nutrient-rich oil with weakened Pokémon.

Offspring can come from 87 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.

Below are the moves learned by leveling up. The rest (37 via TM/TR) are on the full list.
