Loudred Guide
In Diamond & Pearl, Loudred isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Exploud to unlock its full potential. At 360 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
In Diamond & Pearl, Loudred's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Soundproof is the go-to ability for Loudred. It protects against sound-based moves. Its hidden ability Scrappy can work in specific setups.
In Diamond & Pearl, Loudred fills the balanced role. It's a mixed attacker with base 71 Attack and 71 Sp. Atk. Base 48 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
Game Availability
Loudred first appeared in Ruby & Sapphire and has been available in 14 games across 8 generations. Obtainable through catching or hatching as a base form in most titles where it appears.
