In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 485, Relicanth plays as a defensive Pokémon that shines at absorbing hits. Its standout stat is Defense at 130, while Special Attack (45) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Water, Rock combination gives Relicanth 5 resistances and 4 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Grass moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 6 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 25 makes Relicanth a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +1, Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
