Dragon moves don't affect Slurpuff at all — that's the advantage of Fairy typing. It needs some investment to avoid getting outsped. Can go either physical or special depending on the set. Introduced in Gen 6.
An unusually even spread gives Slurpuff flexibility. Defense barely edges ahead. But Speed isn't far off. Common in the wild and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve. Yields 2 Defense EVs.
It can distinguish the faintest of scents. It puts its sensitive sense of smell to use by helping pastry chefs in their work.
Its sense of smell is 100 million times better than a human’s, so even the faintest scent tells it about everything in the area. It’s like it can see with its nose!
Slurpuff Weakness
GoodPoison and Steel-type moves hit Slurpuff for super-effective damage. The upside? Dragon-type moves can't touch it at all. With 82 HP and balanced defenses, Slurpuff can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
Getting Slurpuff requires a trade, not just grinding levels. The chain starts at Swirlix. Breed this form to get Swirlix eggs (average hatch time). Attack grew the most through evolution (+32 over Swirlix), and Slurpuff peaks at 480 total stats.
How to Evolve
Breed with Slurpuff to get Swirlix eggs easily from the Fairy egg group. Notable egg moves include After You, Belly Drum, Copycat and 1 more.
Start with max Attack and Speed EVs. Adamant nature gives Slurpuff the right physical lean, Sitrus Berry adds a one-time health recovery at low HP, and Unburden works in the background. Bellydrum is the main damage option.
