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.
Apparently the itch of its teething impels it to snap its jaws at anything in front of it.
It starts off battles by attacking with its rock-hard horn, but as soon as the opponent flinches, this Pokémon bites down and never lets go.
