In-Depth Analysis
Slither Wing's 570 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (135) carries most matchups, but a low Defense stat of 79 means careful positioning matters.
Its Bug, Fighting typing leaves Slither Wing with 4 weaknesses against 5 resistances. Watch out for Flying moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 7 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 30 makes Slither Wing a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
