Ghost moves don't affect Stoutland at all — that's the advantage of Normal typing. Intimidate lowers the opponent's Attack on switch-in. Known as the Big-Hearted Pokemon. Introduced in Gen 5.
Attack and Defense carry most of Stoutland's stat budget. Sp. Atk's the obvious dump stat. Tough to catch and yields 3 Attack EVs. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Being wrapped in its long fur is so comfortable that a person would be fine even overnight on a wintry mountain.
Stoutland Weakness
GoodStoutland is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. With 85 HP and balanced defenses, Stoutland can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
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.
How to Evolve
Breed with Stoutland to get Lillipup eggs easily from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include Charm, Endure, Fire Fang and 8 more.
Return is the safe click most turns. Choice Band locks Stoutland into it but rewards with raw power at the cost of move flexibility. Jolly nature and max Attack and Speed EVs maximize that first hit. Intimidate helps on the margins.

Take Down and Last Resort bring the raw damage. But Stoutland also picks up coverage across 11 types from TMs, making it tough to find a safe switch. You're not locked into one angle here.
