Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Mudbray's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 1 Attack EV per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
This Pokémon covers itself in mud that it has regurgitated. The mud won’t dry out even if it’s exposed to the sun for a long time.
Though a slow walker, Mudbray is plenty strong. Its pace doesn’t change even when it’s loaded with 50 times its own body weight.
