Need Help With Starmie Nature

[Nafix]

I need some feedback on whether to run jolly or modest natured starmie. At modest nature Starmie's max speed is 329. What are serious threats that can outrun that speed? And what nature is better despite the tradeoff between speed and power?

I hope you know Jolly is (Spd+ SA-). Timid, which is (Spd+ Atk-), would be better, as Starmie isn't really going to use any physical move except Rapid Spin, but it's not like you can KO something with it.

When it comes to statistics, I'm not the best, but I'm pretty sure your Starmie outruns max Speed 100s, who have 328.

Typo?

You obviously mean Timid didn't you?



Threats

Some of the scarier things that can out run you for sure are Jolteons. Jolteons are on of Starmie's biggest fear. Most Jolteons go Timid meaning they are going to run faster than you. This means a 1 hit KO.



Go Timid

I'm suggesting you run Timid. 299 isn't that low of a Sp Att. 361 Speed is nice.

For Modest (329 speed), there will be much more pokemon out running you like Adamant Weavile (349), or Jolly Garchomps (333), etc. You could outrun them if you were Timid.
