In-Depth Analysis
Chi-Yu totals 570 across its base stats, profiling as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Lean on its Special Attack (135) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker HP (55).
Its Dark, Fire typing leaves Chi-Yu with 4 weaknesses against 6 resistances and 1 full immunity. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 6 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 6 makes Chi-Yu a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
