Part 157: POKEDEX #091: Cloyster


HP:50 Atk:95 Def:180 Spd:70 Spc:85 Total:480

Here it is, the Pokemon with the highest Defense in the game. At the expense of everything else, really. I mean, that is a LOT of Defense, you will laugh off physical attacks all day, well, except for Fighting, but you can't do a huge amount back. Another problem is the pretty low Special, which doesn't help against weaknesses and means you can't dish out much hurt. You definitely have the movepool for it, but that's because Water and Ice types get great TMs and HMs. But you can't do much with your usable Attack aside from the usual TM moves, so blow up or something, I dunno. But at least you can take some hits. Just ignore that terrible HP stat.
