Stats & Training
You won't find a real weakness in Tyrogue's stat line. It's well-rounded for the Scuffle Pokemon, and what it does with that depends on moveset and items. Yields 1 Attack EV, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It is always bursting with energy. To make itself stronger, it keeps on fighting even if it loses.
Even though it is small, it can’t be ignored because it will slug any handy target without warning.
