Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Chewtle's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 1 Attack EV per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Its large front tooth is still growing in. When the tooth itches, this Pokémon will bite another Chewtle’s horn, and the two Pokémon will tussle.
A popular game among children is to lift up sticks that Chewtle have bitten onto to see whose Chewtle can hang on the longest.
