Kartana build

Editorial desk · 2026-10-21 · data d2dfaee739

Checked 21 October 2026 against build d2dfaee739 and repository 3c9641c9e7. This is a source-based physical route, not a measured performance ranking.

Kartana has physical attack 1.70, special attack 1.02, defense 131, special defense 31, HP 97 and speed 124. Its high physical attack, not its low special defense, is the reason to favor physical moves. Its Grass, Steel and Normal pool contains all four moves below; Vine Whip is the default opening move.

• Vine Whip evolves toward Power Whip and wants Power.
• Razor Leaf → Leaf Storm requires Reflexes (cd). This uses the physical attack category.
• Meteor Mash → Magnet Bomb requires Power (atk).
• Gyro Ball → Heavy Slam requires Armor (def). For all four routes, reach move level 5, take the run card and select the gold evolution card.

Petal Blizzard (internal id leaf-storm) is available but classified special in this game; it is not a physical match merely because of its main-series category or name. Swords Dance is a possible physical buff alternative. Choice Band adds 40% damage but locks switching; Assault Vest adds 20 percentage points of damage reduction. Neither item guarantees a clear, and Wise Glasses is not in this snapshot’s item list.
