Its greatest asset is Attack — higher than 96% of species. Weak point: Sp. Def — lower than 72% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. Defensively it can rely on 6 weaknesses, 4 resistances and 1 full immunity. Electric-type moves do nothing to it at all. It cannot breed — it has no Egg Group, so you will not get it from breeding.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Attack.
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
It hits physically: its Attack (131) is 78 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 74% 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.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.
