Stats & Training
The stat bars tell the story: Attack carries everything and Speed's dead weight. But this Woolly Crab Pokemon still yields 2 Attack EVs per fight on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It stores coldness in its pincers and pummels its foes. It can even smash thick walls of ice to bits!
Before it stops to think, it just starts pummeling. There are records of its turning back avalanches with a flurry of punches.
