Defense · S
The cheapest defensive spot on the scoreboard, but still Speed and Sp. Def first, then Defense and HP. Safeties get bonus credit from Flying and Psychic types and are the friendliest place to hide a lesser athlete.
Starts in every formation. 2 start on every team.
Points out of 100 before the type bonus. A stat at its ceiling earns the whole share; at the floor, nothing.
| Stat | Range | Share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 20 to 150 | 14% | |
| Defense | 20 to 140 | 16% | |
| Sp. Atk | 20 to 140 | 12% | |
| Sp. Def | 20 to 140 | 26% | |
| Speed | 20 to 130 | 32% |
Across all 1,025 Pokémon. Two of the three may be legendary, which the challenges restrict.
