Stats and Stat Score
Ekans has 86 HP, 101 speed and a 1.03x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.
Compared with the whole roster, its HP is among the lowest on the roster, its speed is below average and its attack is among the lowest on the roster. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 30.8, which puts it at rank 824 overall, rank 132 of 151 among Kanto Pokemon and rank 62 of 78 Poison-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

Ekans moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Ekans starts every run with Sludge: toxic sludge that poisons on impact.
The level-up cards can then offer 12 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 4 moves of its own type. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Poison moves: Sludge, Poison Sting, Toxic, Toxic Spikes
Weaknesses and resistances
Ekans takes extra damage from Ground (1.6x) and Psychic (1.6x). It resists Grass (0.6x), Fighting (0.6x), Poison (0.6x), Bug (0.6x), and Fairy (0.6x). The remaining 11 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Ekans are the ones whose first type is Ground or Psychic. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Poison moves do not hit harder just because Ekans shares the type.
How to get Ekans
Ekans is part of the Kanto banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (45% for Common) and then picks one of the 35 Common Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Ekans a 1.29% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 78 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 15 coins, or 45 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
A rarity-1 Pokemon like Ekans can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.
Shiny Ekans exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Ekans as an enemy
Ekans can show up as a regular enemy from 0:00 into the run (enemy tier 1). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.
Its enemy role is chaser: it walks straight at you and hurts you on contact.
