![]() The hidden ability Defiant would normally be quite handy, boosting Attack two stages whenever a stat is lowered, but since Empoleon emphasizes indirect moves, you'll likely have few physical attack options in your limited four-move set. More than than, Empoleon can tank hits like no tomorrow thanks to one of the game's best defensive pairings: the Water/Steel type combination is weak to three elements but resists ten (including double barriers to Steel and Ice) plus an immunity to Poison! Even if two of this penguin's vulnerabilities are the common Fighting and Ground types, that's a huge assortment of defenses that force your opponent to scramble to find a chink in your armor.Įmpoleon admittedly bears a lackluster moveset, but you can compensate with TMs and Move Tutors, so it's a negligible issue. Prinplup's evolution Empoleon lags in Speed but offers formidable Special Attack and Special Defense, and its Defense isn't atrocious for a stat that it doesn't focus on.
