Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Pancham'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.
It chooses a Pangoro as its master and then imitates its master’s actions. This is how it learns to battle and hunt for prey.
Wanting to make sure it’s taken seriously, Pancham’s always giving others a glare. But if it’s not focusing, it ends up smiling.
