In-Depth Analysis
Pincurchin's 435 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (101) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 15 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Electric combination gives Pincurchin 3 resistances and 1 weakness to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 2 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 75 puts Pincurchin in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
