Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Litten's spread. It leans mixed with Speed out front. And you'll get 1 Speed EV per KO for it. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
It spends even the smallest amount of downtime grooming its fur with its tongue. Loose fur gathers in its stomach and serves as fuel for fiery moves.
Trying to pet Litten before it trusts you will result in a nasty scratch from its sharp claws. Be careful.
