Stats & Training
An unusually even spread gives Lombre flexibility. Sp. Def barely edges ahead. But Attack isn't far off. Common in the wild and follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve. Yields 2 Sp. Def EVs.
LOMBRE is nocturnal - it will get active after dusk. It is also a mischief-maker. When this POKéMON spots anglers, it tugs on their fishing lines from beneath the surface and enjoys their consternation.
LOMBRE’s entire body is covered by a slippery, slimy film. It feels horribly unpleasant to be touched by this POKéMON’s hands. LOMBRE is often mistaken for a human child.
