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.
Although its body is small, its proficient fighting skills enable it to keep up with big bruisers like Machamp and Hariyama.
With its wings, it controls its position in the air. It likes to attack from above, a maneuver that is difficult to defend against.
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.

X & Y Evolution
No evolution chain to worry about here. Hawlucha is a standalone Pokemon with plenty of partners 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 51 breeding partners from the Flying and Humanshape egg groups. Pass egg moves like Agility, Ally Switch, Baton Pass and 4 more to offspring.
X & Y Hawlucha Best Moveset
One boost from Swords Dance and Hawlucha gets dangerous fast. The Adamant 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 best EVs are Attack and Speed

Moves
Without breeding, Hawlucha misses out on Agility and Ally Switch. That's 7 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Sky Attack and High Jump Kick, with coverage across 8 types rounding things out.

X & Y Hawlucha Locations
Hawlucha starts showing up in mid-game routes at decent spawn rates across 4 encounter spots. The list below is sorted so you can pick what fits your current progress without scrolling through everything.
Best Locations to Catch Hawlucha in X & Y
Which version you're playing matters for Hawlucha. 4 walking spots at Lv. 19-21 spread across X and Y, and some routes only appear in one cartridge. Check the version badges below.
Hawlucha Guide
In X & Y, Hawlucha looks average on paper at 500 BST. But Mold Breaker is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier pivot on our tier list. Acrobatics with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
In X & Y, yes. Mega Hawlucha is the evolved form, sitting at 600 BST. Big power spike over base Hawlucha (500). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In X & Y, 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.
