Stats & Training
Sp. Def and Defense carry most of Dewpider's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Easy to catch and yields 1 Sp. Def EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
When two Dewpider meet, they display their water bubbles to each other. Then the one with the smaller bubble gets out of the other’s way.
It can only breathe oxygen that has dissolved in water, so it wears a water bubble on its head when it walks around on land.
Dewpider Weakness
Dewpider's Water/Bug typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric, Flying, and Rock. 5 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart.
