Stats & Training
Speed and Defense carry most of Meditite's stat budget. HP's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Speed EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
MEDITITE undertakes rigorous mental training deep in the mountains. However, whenever it meditates, this POKéMON always loses its concentration and focus. As a result, its training never ends.
MEDITITE heightens its inner energy through meditation. It survives on just one berry a day. Minimal eating is another aspect of this POKéMON’s training.
Meditite Weakness
Meditite's Fighting/Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Flying and Ghost. Few weaknesses and 2 resistances make the typing clean. Just 2 weak spots to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Flying, Ghost |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fighting, Rock |
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
