Type: Null is technically a pre-evolution of its evolution, but it holds its own in formats where Eviolite is allowed. Ghost moves can't touch it, and only a single type hits it super-effectively. It relies on priority moves or Scarf to keep up.
HP and Attack carry most of Type: Null's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Near-impossible to catch and yields 2 HP EVs. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Type: Null Weakness
GoodType: Null is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Type: Null's overall bulk (95/95/95) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
Type: Null is the evolved form of Type: Null, reached. A Normal type at 534 stats that still can't breed.
How to Evolve
Don't let the NFE status fool you. Type: Null with Eviolite hits bulk numbers that compete with final forms. Defense and Sp. Def investment EVs and Relaxed nature maximize that, and Battlearmor handles the rest.
