In-Depth Analysis
Skorupi's 330 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Defense (90) carries most matchups, but a low Special Attack stat of 30 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Poison, Bug combination gives Skorupi 5 resistances and 4 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 4 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Skorupi in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
