Using it in a run

Kabuto spreads 355 base stat points. Its strongest stat is Defense (90) and its weakest is HP (30), so the role that fits depends on how the rest of the run covers that gap.

Under the game's real multipliers it takes increased damage from Grass, Electric and Fighting. It resists Flying, Ice and Normal in return. Use that to decide when to circle and when to leave, not to pick a favourite.

Its level-up learnset lists 14 moves; the hardest-hitting is Stone Edge at 100 power, available at level 60. That is the point where its damage actually changes.
