Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 39.7, which puts it at rank 658 overall, rank 103 of 141 among Unova Pokemon and rank 73 of 96 Psychic-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

Elgyem moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Elgyem starts every run with Confusion: a wave that homes in on its target.
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
- Psychic moves: Confusion, Psybeam, Psychic, Psycho Cut
Weaknesses and resistances
Elgyem takes extra damage from Bug (1.6x), Ghost (1.6x), and Dark (1.6x). It resists Fighting (0.6x) and Psychic (0.6x). The remaining 13 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 Elgyem are the ones whose first type is Bug, Ghost, or Dark. 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 Psychic moves do not hit harder just because Elgyem shares the type.
How to get Elgyem
Elgyem is part of the Unova banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (30% for Uncommon) and then picks one of the 27 Uncommon Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Elgyem a 1.11% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 90 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 30 coins, or 90 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
Shiny Elgyem 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.
Elgyem as an enemy
Elgyem can show up as a regular enemy from 1:10 into the run (enemy tier 2). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.
Its enemy role is shooter: it keeps its distance and fires shots at you from range.
