- Charcoal: Increases the damage of Fire-type moves by 20%.
- Spell Tag: Increases the damage of Ghost-type moves by 20%.
Stats to EV Train
Since its highest base stat is Attack that is also the stat you should focus on while EV Training. After you max out its Attack, the next stat should be speed. Even though Special Defense is higher. Having high speed can help you attack first which can help you finish raids faster. Finally, you should put your remaining EV training efforts into improving the Special Defense.
