In-Depth Analysis
Xatu's 470 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Special Attack (95) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 65 means careful positioning matters.
Its Psychic, Flying typing leaves Xatu with 5 weaknesses against 3 resistances and 1 full immunity. 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 75 puts Xatu in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +1, Speed +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
