In-Depth Analysis
Litwick's 275 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Special Attack (65) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 20 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Ghost, Fire combination gives Litwick 7 resistances, 2 immunities, and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 6 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
With a catch rate of 190, Litwick is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
