Nothing fancy in Centiskorch's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 2 Attack EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Gigantamax energy has evoked a rise in its body temperature, now reaching over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Its heat waves incinerate its enemies.
The heat that comes off a Gigantamax Centiskorch may destabilize air currents. Sometimes it can even cause storms.
Centiskorch's Fire/Bug typing leaves it vulnerable to Rock, Water, and Flying. Rock hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It resists 6 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Flash Fire grants an additional Fire immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Centiskorch's special bulk (base 90 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Rock |
| 2x (Weak) | Water, Flying |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Ice, Fighting, Bug, Steel, Fairy |
| 0.25x (Resist) | Grass |
