Lechonk's stats barely vary. None sit in respectable range with no real gaps. It's a blank slate for EV investment. Worth 1 HP EV, medium-fast 1M XP curve to max.
It searches for food all day. It possesses a keen sense of smell but doesn’t use it for anything other than foraging.
This Pokémon spurns all but the finest of foods. Its body gives off an herblike scent that bug Pokémon detest.
