Stats & Training
The stat bars tell the story: Sp. Def carries everything and Attack's dead weight. But this Kite Pokemon still yields 1 Sp. Def EV per fight on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
The pattern on its back varies by region. It often swims in a school of Remoraid.
When it swims close to the surface of the ocean, people aboard ships are able to observe the pattern on its back.
Mantyke Weakness
Type-wise, Mantyke takes extra damage from Electric and Rock. Watch out for Electric attacks, those deal 4x damage. Ground moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. The Water/Flying typing picks up 5 resistances to work with. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Mantyke's special bulk (base 120 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Electric |
| 2x (Weak) | Rock |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Fighting, Bug, Steel |
