Stats, matchups, abilities, and moves
Malamar reads as a physical attacker from its current stats.
May need Tailwind, priority, or careful switching.
These are type-only multipliers. The ability notes below show when the result changes.
Battle Stats
Read the left number as the base stat. Read the right number as a simple level 50 game preview.
If a game screen number is higher than the base stat, it usually comes from level calculation, Stat Alignment, and Stat Points. Use base stats for comparison, and game preview for battle feel.
