In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 335, Dottler plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Special Defense at 90, while Speed (30) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Bug, Psychic combination gives Dottler 4 resistances and 6 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Dottler in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
