Best Qualities

Rowlet has the highest base HP stat among the starters. In addition, the Pokémon has moderate values of base Attack, Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense stat values. Unfortunately, Rowlet has the lowest base Speed stat.

Rowlet is your all-around stater due to its balanced spread of base stats with the exception of Speed. Since the Pokémon is a dual-type, it will be susceptible to more enemy moves that can exploit the weakness of Grass and Flying. As Decidueye, the Pokémon’s Attack stat value will grow exponentially. This makes the Pokémon not only tanky but also competent in battle.
