Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Roggenrola's spread. It leans physical with Defense out front. And you'll get 1 Defense EV per KO for it. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Born deep within the ground, it compares itself with similar species, such as Geodude and Carbink, to settle which has the hardest body.
The hexagonal cavity is its ear. It walks in the direction of sounds it hears, but if the sounds cease, it panics and topples over.
Roggenrola Weakness
Roggenrola is weak to Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, and Steel. The Rock typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Roggenrola's physical bulk (base 85 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
