The Pokemon series is known for creating strange and wonderful creatures, and fans can find plenty of their favorites in the newly released Pokemon Legends: Arceus. However, all Pokemon are not created equal. While some have incredible designs and fantastic Moves that make them special, other Pokemon stand out for their incredibly high stats.
One of the stats that can separate a good Pokemon from a great one is Special Attack. The Special Attack stat determines how much damage a Pokemon deals when using a special move and can be devastating to opponents in battle. Let’s take a look at the Non-Legendary Pokemon with the highest Special Attack stats in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
Please note, this article is not spoiler-free.
5 Lucario
Lucario is a Fighting/Steel-type Pokemon with a Special Attack of 115. It’s not just the SpecialAttack stat that is noteworthy, everything about this Pokemon is very good: the type combination (8 resistances, 1 immunity, 3 weaknesses), Movepool, and stats.
Lucario also has high Attack and Speed. And, to top it all off, it’s easy to find. Lucario’s pre-evolution, Riolu, can be located at Icebound Falls and Snowfall Hot Spring in the Alabaster Icelands.
4 Typhlosion
Cyndaquil is one of the starters that can be picked at the beginning of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and it can be evolved into Typhlosion. In Legends, it has a new regional form that is a Fire/Ghost-type with 119 points in its Special Attack stat. Fire/Ghost is a very good type combination, giving Typhlosion 7 resistances, 2 immunities, 5 weaknesses, and access to Ghost-type moves. Typhlosion’s speed stat at 95 is nothing to complain about either.
The most noteworthy thing about Hisuian Typhlosion is its signature Move, Infernal Parade. This is a Special Ghost-type move with 60 base power and a 30% chance to inflict the opponent with a Burn. What makes Infernal Parade so good is that its power will double if the opponent has any kind of status condition (not just Burn), bringing it up to 120, allowing the move to hit extremely hard.
3 Gardevoir, Roserade, Magmortar, Togekiss, & Zoroark
All of these Pokemon have their Special Attack stats tied at 125 points.
Just like with Typhlosion, it has a signature Special Ghost-type Move called Bitter Malice that has 60 base power but doubles to 120 if the user has a status condition. This move also has a 30% chance to induce Frostbite, a new status in Legends that cuts the power of the opponent’s Special moves in half, as well as damaging them slightly at the end of each turn. Its first form, Zorua, can be found at Bonechill Wastes in the Alabaster Icelands.
2 Gengar, Espeon, Magnezone, & Glaceon
These Pokemon have their Special Attack stats tied at 130 points.
1 Alakazam & Porygon-Z
Both of these Pokemon have their Special Attack stats tied at 135 points.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
