In-Depth Analysis
Voltorb's 330 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Speed (100) carries most matchups, but a low Attack stat of 30 means careful positioning matters.
Its Electric typing leaves Voltorb with 1 weakness against 3 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 2 types for super-effective damage.
With a catch rate of 190, Voltorb is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
