⚠ Scarlet/Violet support is in the works! ⚠

Thank you for your interest in having the Marriland Pokédex updated to support Pokémon Scarlet & Violet! This has been something that I've been wanting to update for awhile, and it is my current project to implement support for the new games and The Teal Mask DLC. Thank you for your patience as I work on this over the coming week or two!

Below is a list of all of the moves that Anorith can learn, along with what level it learns the move, the TM or TR number, and what egg moves it can learn, if any. Hover over a move (desktop/laptop) or click the ? button next to the move (mobile/tablet) to find out more about the move.

Level Up Moves

Here are all of the moves Anorith learns via level up. Anything marked "Evo." means it learns it upon evolving. If the level is 1, it can be relearned at a Pokémon Center.

Anorith's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Anorith's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Anorith's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Anorith is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Stats at level 100	0 EVs		252+ EVs		Base Stat
Stats at level 100	Min	Max	Min	Max	Base Stat
HP	200	231	263	294	45
