In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 470, Torkoal plays as a defensive Pokémon that shines at absorbing hits. Its standout stat is Defense at 140, while Speed (20) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Fire typing leaves Torkoal with 3 weaknesses against 6 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 4 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 90 puts Torkoal in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
