In-Depth Analysis
Sawk totals 465 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Attack (125) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Attack (30).
Defensively, the Fighting combination gives Sawk 3 resistances and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Sawk a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
