Almost nobody uses Nymble in battle. It exists to evolve into Lokix, which is a completely different story. Get it there and you won't regret it. Known as the Grasshopper Pokemon. Introduced in Gen 9.

An unusually even spread gives Nymble flexibility. Attack barely edges ahead. But Sp. Atk isn't far off. Common in the wild and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve. Yields 1 Attack EV.

  • Nymble is meant to evolve into Lokix. At 210 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.

  • Watch for Arcanine (Fire), Salamence (Flying), and Rhyperior (Rock) when using Nymble. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • Nymble evolves into Lokix at level 24. Nymble is the base form of this evolutionary line.

  • Tinted Lens is what you want on Nymble. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Swarm) work on paper but Tinted Lens is what makes Nymble worth using.

  • Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Nymble is a physical attacker with base 46 Attack. Defensively? Fragile — can't afford to take many hits.

  • Nymble can be found in Winds & Waves and Scarlet & Violet.

Nymble joined the series in Scarlet & Violet and has been available in 2 titles so far. With 2 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
