In-Depth Analysis
Nuzleaf's 340 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. HP (70) carries most matchups, but a low Defense stat of 40 means careful positioning matters.
Its Grass, Dark typing leaves Nuzleaf with 7 weaknesses against 6 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Bug moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Nuzleaf in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
