Stats & Training
Mudsdale's all-in on Attack at the expense of Speed. The physical lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 2 Attack EVs and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It remains calm and unmoving no matter the situation. It mixes dirt with the saliva in its mouth to make a special kind of mud.
It can trudge mountain roads without rest for three days and three nights, all the while dragging a 10-ton load.
Mudsdale Weakness
Type-wise, Mudsdale takes extra damage from Water, Grass, and Ice. Electric moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Mudsdale's overall bulk (100/100/85) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
