- Bulk-leaning spread (73 Defense / 120 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Cloudy and Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.
