Stonjourner doesn't stand out in any single area, but it gets the job done for in-game teams. 5 type weaknesses to keep in mind. Been around since Gen 8. Known as the Big Rock Pokemon. Built to hit on the physical side.
Defense leads and Sp. Atk gets almost nothing. That's Stonjourner's stat line in a nutshell. 3 stats sit in respectable range, but the spread is brutal. Moderately hard to find and yields 2 Defense EVs.
The elemental composition of the rocks that form its body were found to match the bedrock of a land far away from this Pokémon’s habitat.
This Pokémon spends its life gazing at the setting sun. It strides leisurely across grassy plains on legs of rock that weigh over 400 pounds each.
Stonjourner Weakness
FragileType-wise, Stonjourner takes extra damage from Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, and Steel. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Stonjourner's physical bulk (base 135 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
What you see is what you get. Stonjourner sits outside any evolution chain, so focus on the egg moves and plenty of partners from one egg group. Eggs are average hatch time.
How to Evolve
Breed Stonjourner easily with 54 breeding partners from the Mineral egg group. Pass egg moves like Ancient Power, Curse to offspring.
Powerspot helps Stonjourner stick around while dealing real damage. Leftovers for passive recovery each turn, max HP and Defense EVs for the right balance, and Wideguard as the main threat. Not the fastest, but it doesn't need to be.

TMs carry this one. Stonjourner learns Meteor Beam and Stone Edge naturally for STAB, but the offensive range comes almost entirely from technical machines. Normal and Steel and beyond give it real matchup play.
