Base Stats
Everything pushes toward physical damage here. Pawmot's Attack does the work, Sp. Def pays the price. But you're still getting 3 Attack EVs per KO. Tough to catch, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Pawmot’s fluffy fur acts as a battery. It can store the same amount of electricity as an electric car.
Pawmot Guide
Pawmot looks average on paper at 490 BST. But Natural Cure is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. B-Tier sweeper on our tier list.
Pawmot gets Natural Cure, Volt Absorb, and Iron Fist. But Natural Cure is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. With base 105 Speed, Natural Cure gives Pawmot an edge before opponents can react.
Pawmot is a physical attacker with base 115 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 105 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the sweeper role.
Run Revivalblessing, Close Combat, Doubleshock, and Mach Punch on Pawmot. Revivalblessing is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the sweeper role with a mix of damage and utility.
