Strategic Insight
Zangoose's normal typing gives it 1 weakness but strong offensive coverage against no types
In-Depth Analysis
Zangoose totals 458 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Attack (115) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Defense (60).
Defensively, the Normal combination gives Zangoose 0 resistances, 1 immunity, and 1 weakness to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 0 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 90 puts Zangoose in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Slow Then Very Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
