95 across every stat with AbilityBattle Armor preventing critical hits. Normal typing and balanced distribution give the moveset some of everything but nothing exceptional. Held ItemEviolite adds real bulk that approaches competitive levels. E-tier because 59 Speed is slow and 95/95 offenses can't threaten dedicated answers.

Pokedex Entry

Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the Galar region.

It was modeled after a mighty Pokémon of myth. The mask placed upon it limits its power in order to keep it under control.
