In-Depth Analysis
Cresselia totals 580 across its base stats, profiling as a defensive Pokémon that shines at absorbing hits. Lean on its HP (120) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Attack (70).
Its Psychic typing leaves Cresselia with 3 weaknesses against 2 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 2 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Cresselia a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
