Stats & Training
Attack and Sp. Def carry most of Komala's stat budget. HP's the obvious dump stat. Tough to catch and yields 2 Attack EVs. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
It is born asleep, and it dies asleep. All its movements are apparently no more than the results of it tossing and turning in its dreams.
The log it holds was given to it by its parents at birth. It has also been known to cling to the arm of a friendly Trainer.
Komala Weakness
Komala's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. Komala's special bulk (base 95 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
