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

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Def, 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 (80) is 10 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 84% 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.

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.

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.
