Skiddo is technically a pre-evolution of Gogoat, but it holds its own in formats where Eviolite is allowed. Sap Sipper absorbs Grass moves and boosts its Attack, adding extra value. It relies on priority moves or Scarf to keep up.
Skiddo's stats barely vary. 0 sit in respectable range with no real gaps. It's a blank slate for EV investment. Worth 1 HP EV, medium-fast 1M XP curve to max.

If it has sunshine and water, it doesn’t need to eat, because it can generate energy from the leaves on its back.
