Stats & Training
An unusually even spread gives Fletchling flexibility. Speed barely edges ahead. But Sp. Def isn't far off. Easy to catch and follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve. Yields 1 Speed EV.
While it’s an amiable Pokémon, if you touch it unexpectedly, it will heat up its body in an instant, and you’ll be burned.
Its body is always warm. Trainers who live in cold areas apparently sleep with it in their bed.
