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

Good

Type: 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.

max HP and Sp. Def EVs and Sassy nature turn Type: Null into a wall that doesn't fold easily. Eviolite brings a bulk boost that only works before full evolution for the long game, and Rest handles sustain. Battlearmor fills in the gaps.

TMs carry this one. Type: Null learns Giga Impact and Hyper Beam naturally for STAB, but the offensive range comes almost entirely from technical machines. Flying and Bug and beyond give it real matchup play.
