Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Snubbull's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 1 Attack EV per KO for it. Follows a fast 800K XP curve.
It has an active, playful nature. Many women like to frolic with it because of its affectionate ways.
Small Pokémon flee from its scary face. It is, however, considered by women to be cute.
Snubbull Weakness
