Stats & Training
An unusually even spread gives Ducklett flexibility. HP barely edges ahead. But Attack isn't far off. Common in the wild and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve. Yields 1 HP EV.
When attacked, it uses its feathers to splash water, escaping under cover of the spray.
They are better at swimming than flying, and they happily eat their favorite food, peat moss, as they dive underwater.
