Base Stats
Nothing fancy in Mudbray's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 1 Attack EV per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Though a slow walker, Mudbray is plenty strong. Its pace doesn’t change even when it’s loaded with 50 times its own body weight.
Mudbray Guide
At 385 BST, Mudbray is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Mudsdale before bringing it to any serious fight.
Own Tempo prevents confusion. That's the one you want on Mudbray. Inner Focus is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Stamina works too if your team needs something different.
Mudbray is a physical attacker with base 100 Attack. Speed tells the real story. Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the attacker role.
For a casual playthrough, Mudbray works as a placeholder. Ground coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Mudsdale. That's where the stats start mattering.
Game Availability
