While most trainers evolve Mudbray into Mudsdale immediately, the unevolved form has a niche with Eviolite boosting its defenses. Electric moves can't touch it, and only 3 types hit it super-effectively. Known as the Donkey Pokemon.

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.

The mud stuck to Mudbray’s hooves enhances its grip and its powerful running gait.

Sun

It has a stubborn, individualistic disposition. Eating dirt, making mud, and playing in the mire all form part of its daily routine.

Mudbray Weakness

Avg

Water, Grass, and Ice-type moves hit Mudbray for super-effective damage. The upside? Electric-type moves can't touch it at all. Not too many gaps in the chart, 3 weaknesses to account for.

Best Build

No build content available for this Pokemon in Gen 7.

Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.

Without breeding, Mudbray misses out on Body Slam and Close Combat. That's 5 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Earthquake and High Horsepower, with Fighting and Normal coverage and more rounding things out.

  • At 385 BST, Mudbray is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Mudsdale before bringing it to any serious fight.

  • Watch for Greninja (Water), Venusaur (Grass), and Cloyster (Ice) when using Mudbray. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • Mudbray evolves into Mudsdale at level 30. Mudbray is the base form of this evolutionary line.

  • 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. But the speed tells the real story — base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the attacker role.

  • Mudbray can be found in Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.

Since Sun & Moon, Mudbray has been obtainable in 4 games. A Generation 7 debut means a shorter history, but Mudbray has appeared steadily across every generation since.
