Base Stats
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.
Spewpa Guide
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.
Game Availability
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.
