In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 455, Thievul plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Special Defense at 92, while Attack (58) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Dark typing leaves Thievul with 3 weaknesses against 2 resistances and 1 full immunity. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 2 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 127 puts Thievul in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
