Sinistea's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Sinistea'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 Sinistea's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Sinistea 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.

Notes About Sinistea

Most Sinistea found in the wild, and all Sinistea that are bred, are its Phony Form instead of the very rare Antique Form. There are no stat or move differences between the two forms, but Antique Form requires the

Chipped Pot to evolve while the Phony Form needs the

Cracked Pot instead.
