Stats & Training
Everything pushes toward mixed damage here. Hawlucha's Speed does the work, Sp. Def pays the price. But you're still getting 2 Attack EVs per KO. Moderately hard to find, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Its elegant finishing moves—performed by nimbly leaping around using its wings—are polished in the forest where it was born and raised.
Hawlucha live quietly without flocking together. They fight constantly with their natural enemies: noisy groups of Primeape.
Hawlucha Weakness
Electric, Ice, Flying, Psychic, and Fairy moves hit Hawlucha for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground-type moves can't touch it at all. The Fighting/Flying typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Hawlucha leans offensive (base 92 Atk) rather than trying to tank its weaknesses.

Scarlet & Violet Evolution
No evolution chain to worry about here. Hawlucha is a standalone Pokemon with a decent partner pool for breeding through two egg groups. Eggs come out average hatch time. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed Hawlucha easily with 47 breeding partners from the Flying and Humanshape egg groups. Pass egg moves like Cross Chop, Defog, Entrainment and 3 more to offspring.
Scarlet & Violet Hawlucha Best Moveset
One boost from Swords Dance and Hawlucha gets dangerous fast. The Jolly nature targets max Attack and Speed, and Unburden backs the whole approach. Acrobatics and the remaining moves handle most of what's left standing.

Hawlucha Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, Hawlucha looks average on paper at 500 BST. But Mold Breaker is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. B-Tier pivot on our tier list. Swords Dance with Hawluchanite is the standard set.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Scarlet & Violet, but Hawlucha does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Hawlucha hits 600 BST.
In Scarlet & Violet, watch for Raikou (Electric), Walrein (Ice), and Aerodactyl (Flying) when using Hawlucha. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Psychic and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Hawlucha's base 118 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
Hawlucha gets Mold Breaker, Limber, and Unburden. But Mold Breaker is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Hawlucha is a physical attacker with base 92 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 118 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the pivot role.
Game Availability
Available since X & Y, Hawlucha appears in 7 games spanning 5 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 6.
