Stunfisk Weakness

Type-wise, Stunfisk takes extra damage from Water, Grass, Ice, and Ground. Electric moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. It resists 4 types, giving it decent defensive coverage. Stunfisk's overall bulk (109/84/99) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Stunfisk develops a solid moveset just through leveling. Earthquake and Sludge Wave show up naturally, and the progression handles both STAB and utility without leaning on TMs for the core attacks.

Stunfisk Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Stunfisk has a 471 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Legends: Z-A's meta. It works best as a trick room. Stealth Rock with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Stunfisk's biggest threats include Swampert (Water), Roserade (Grass), and Lapras (Ice), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Ground-type attackers are also a problem. At base 32 Speed, Stunfisk won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Static is the go-to ability for Stunfisk. It has a 30% chance of paralyzing attacking Pokémon on contact. Its hidden ability Sand Veil can work in specific setups. Limber is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Stunfisk fills the trick room role. It's a special attacker with base 81 Sp. Atk. Base 32 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.

  • For Legends: Z-A, the core moveset is Stealth Rock, Discharge, Foulplay, and Protect. Stealth Rock leads at 20% usage. Discharge provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

Stunfisk first appeared in Black & White and spans 8 games across 6 generations. It later gained a Galarian form in Generation 8, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
