It evolves into Bakeko starting at level 18.

Pokedex Entry[]

Overview[]

Maneko offers a decent addition to a team with its wide movepool and good attacking stats. Its Speed is its second highest stat, and when coupled with Limber, this doesn't prove to be much of a problem. Maneko suffers from low defenses however, and serves more as an offensive Pokémon rather than a defensive one. It has the stat-boosting moves to take advantage of, as well as access to Baton Pass to pass those buffs onto another team member.

That said, Maneko suffers through fierce competition from other Fire types like Magby, Mornwing, Peyero and others. It isn't a bad Pokémon but it's overshadowed by others. It is cute though.
