Stoutland Best Moveset
Sand doubles 80 Speed to 160 through AbilitySand Rush, and 110 Attack behind Normal TermStab hits hard physically. AbilityIntimidate offers the alternate defensive support path. The moveset functions in sand teams but E-tier because Normal coverage has no super-effective targets and without sand the Speed is below average.
Sand Rush doubled Speed in sandstorm in Gen V (Black & White). 110 Attack at doubled Speed swept. The sand setter was the requirement.

Evolution
End of the line. Stoutland caps a three-stage chain that started at Lillipup. Breeding produces the base form, and eggs are quick to hatch. Attack grew the most through evolution (+50 over Lillipup), and Stoutland peaks at 500 total stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Stoutland to get Lillipup eggs easily using 278 partners from the Field egg group.
Shiny Stoutland
Stoutland's shiny is so close to the original that you could use both as a colorblind test and nobody would pass. The big mustache dog got the same non-treatment as its pre-evolutions, making this a full three-stage line of D-tier disappointments. Somewhere, a shiny Stoutland is living a happy life and no one has ever noticed it.
