Nothing fancy in Spewpa's spread. It leans mixed with Defense out front. And you'll get 2 Defense EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

If Rufflet attacks this Pokémon by pecking at it, it will retaliate with its sharp fur and poisonous black powder.

Fire, Flying, and Rock moves hit Spewpa for super-effective damage. Spewpa's physical bulk (base 60 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Spewpa hasn't fully evolved, but Eviolite's 50% bulk boost makes it viable anyway. Bold nature with Defense and Sp. Def investment EVs shapes the defensive spread, and Friendguard adds utility.

A compact toolkit overall. The offense runs through Bug Bite and Pounce for Spewpa, with Normal coverage doing what it can. Don't expect versatility from this one.

    or evolve from Scatterbug (Step 1)

  • Get Spewpa to Vivillon at level 12. At 213 BST, Spewpa is just the starting point.

  • Level 12 gets you Vivillon. Quick enough that Spewpa barely slows you down.

  • For a casual playthrough, Spewpa works as a placeholder. Bug coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Vivillon. That's where the stats start mattering.

  • Across 6 games, Spewpa has solid availability. First showed up in Legends: Z-A. The latest games to include it are X & Y and Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire.

Since X & Y, Spewpa has been obtainable in 6 games. A Generation 6 debut means a shorter history, but Spewpa has appeared steadily across every generation since.
