Pokédex · IX (Paldea)

Gimmighoul#999

Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — higher than 60% of species. Weak point: Speed — among the lowest in the entire Pokédex. Its stat total lands at the tail end — below 86% of species. This is not the final form yet — it evolves once more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses, 2 resistances and 2 full immunities. Normal and Fighting-type moves do nothing to it at all. It cannot breed — it has no Egg Group, so you will not get it from breeding.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. 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 (75) is 45 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.

  • 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.
