Ghost moves don't affect Dubwool at all — that's the advantage of Normal typing. It sits at a decent but contested Speed tier. Known as the Sheep Pokemon. Flexible enough to run physical or special sets.
Defense and Sp. Def carry most of Dubwool's stat budget. Sp. Atk's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 2 Defense EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Weave a carpet from its springy wool, and you end up with something closer to a trampoline. You’ll start to bounce the moment you set foot on it.
Its majestic horns are meant only to impress the opposite gender. They never see use in battle.
Dubwool Weakness
