Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Yungoos'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.
Its stomach takes up most of its long torso. It’s a big eater, so the amount Trainers have to spend on its food is no laughing matter.
Although it will eat anything, it prefers fresh living things, so it marches down streets in search of prey.
Yungoos Weakness
Type-wise, Yungoos takes extra damage from Fighting. Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Yungoos's Normal typing only leaves 1 gap to cover.
