Stats & Training
Speed and Defense carry most of Meditite's stat budget. HP's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Speed EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It eats just one berry a day. By enduring hunger, its spirit is tempered and made sharper.
It never misses its daily yoga workouts, and it heightens its spiritual power through meditation.
Meditite Weakness
Meditite's Fighting/Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Flying and Ghost. Few weaknesses and 2 resistances make the typing clean. Just 2 weak spots to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.
