In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 456, Ninjask plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Speed at 160, while Defense (45) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Bug, Flying combination gives Ninjask 3 resistances, 1 immunity, and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Rock moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Ninjask in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Slow Then Very Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
