Almost nobody uses Rellor in battle. It exists to evolve into Rabsca, which is a completely different story. Get it there and you won't regret it. Only weak to Fire, Flying, and Rock. Known as the Rolling Pokemon.
Nothing fancy in Rellor's spread. It leans mixed with Defense out front. And you'll get 1 Defense EV per KO for it. Follows a fast 800K XP curve.
This Pokémon creates a mud ball by mixing sand and dirt with psychic energy. It treasures its mud ball more than its own life.
