In-Depth Analysis
Ampharos's 510 base stat total marks it as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Special Attack (115) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 55 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Electric combination gives Ampharos 3 resistances and 1 weakness to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 2 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Ampharos a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
