A soul unable to move on to the afterlife was blown around by the wind until it got tangled up with dried grass and became a Pokémon.

Bramblin Weakness

Avg

Type-wise, Bramblin takes extra damage from Fire, Ice, Flying, Ghost, and Dark. Normal and Fighting moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses.

Leveling does the heavy lifting. Bramblin picks up Phantom Force and Power Whip along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add Rock and Normal coverage and more, but the foundation's already strong by then.
