In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 483, Runerigus plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Defense at 145, while Speed (30) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Ground, Ghost combination gives Runerigus 3 resistances, 3 immunities, and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 7 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 90 puts Runerigus in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
