Pokémon of the Month: Celebi
By Clover
In honor of Heart Gold and Soul Silver, the Pokémon of the Month is Celebi. Enjoy!

Type: Psychic/Grass Species: Time Travel Pokémon Ability: Natural Cure Height: 2'00" Weight: 11.0 lbs EV Yield: 3 HP Egg Group: None

EV Distribution and Stats:
Celebi's stats are at 100 straight down the line! Which means, this is a very customizable Pokémon. Unfortunately, it does have quite a few weaknesses including Flying (x2), Poison (x2), Bug (x4), Ghost (x2), First (x2), Ice (x2), and Dark (x2). Since Celebi has so many weaknesses and isn't immune to anything, it would be best to buff up her defense and special defense. Increasing her speed would be good too, to insure you get the first hit most of the time.
