In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 600, Shaymin plays as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Its standout stat is HP at 100, while HP (100) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Grass typing leaves Shaymin with 5 weaknesses against 4 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 3 types for super-effective damage.
