In-Depth Analysis
Ferrothorn's 489 base stat total marks it as a defensive Pokémon that shines at absorbing hits. Defense (131) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 20 means careful positioning matters.
Its Grass, Steel typing leaves Ferrothorn with 2 weaknesses against 9 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Fire moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 90 puts Ferrothorn in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
