Kartana is a dual-type Steel/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is known as the “Paper-Cut Pokémon” and is incredibly sharp, able to cut through steel with ease.
Kartana is a small, bipedal Pokémon with a body made of folded paper. It has a single red eye and a sharp beak-like mouth. Its arms and legs are also sharp, and it has a single large blade on its back.
In Pokémon Go, Kartana is a rare and highly sought-after Pokémon. It can be found in 5-star raids, and it has a very low spawn rate in the wild. It’s Steel/Grass typing gives it a number of useful resistances, making it a formidable opponent in battle.
Table of Contents
Kartana’s main selling point is its incredible attack stat, which is the highest of all Steel-type Pokémon in the game. This, combined with its access to powerful moves like Leaf Blade and Night Slash, makes it a fearsome attacker.
However, Kartana has a number of weaknesses that players should be aware of. Its defense stat is relatively low, making it vulnerable to physical attacks. It is also weak to Fire, Fighting, and Ground-type moves, so trainers should be sure to include these types in their team when facing off against a Kartana.
