Stats & Training
Drowzee's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Def leads, Speed trails, 1 stats clear the bar. Common in the wild and worth 1 Sp. Def EV, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It can be spotted near recreational facilities, intending to eat the pleasant dreams of children who enjoyed themselves there that day.
It puts its prey to sleep and devours their dreams. It seems that bad dreams taste sour, so Drowzee doesn’t particularly like eating them.
Drowzee Weakness
Drowzee is weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Drowzee's special bulk (base 90 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
