Strong point: Attack — higher than 94% of species. Its weakest point is Speed — lower than 65% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. On defense it has 7 weaknesses, 6 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for the Bug type — damage from it is quadrupled. 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: HP.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Attack, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
It hits physically: its Attack (127) is 48 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Adamant +Atk · −SpA The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
- Jolly +Spe · −SpA Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up 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.

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 201 among 274 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.05% of teams.
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
It is possible that the creature listed as Brute Bonnet in a certain book could actually be this Pokémon.

Variant gallery
The gallery shows only the appearance variants that exist for this Pokémon. Every image shows the same character and differs in source — a Pokémon HOME render or a pixel sprite — and in coloring, regular or shiny.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Brute Bonnet does not breed. You cannot get an Egg from it — this is how the games treat almost all Legendary and Mythical species.
