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.
These Pokémon seem to enjoy living with humans. Even a Stoutland caught in the wild will warm up to people in about three days.
Stoutland is immensely proud of its impressive moustache. It’s said that moustache length is what determines social standing among this species.
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.
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 using 138 partners from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include After You, Covet, Howl and 3 more.
For a defensive wall, Stoutland wants a spread EV build EVs and Heavy-Duty Boots. The Careful nature tilts toward special wall duty, and Intimidate contributes without taking a move slot.

Play Rough and Take Down bring the raw damage. But Stoutland also picks up coverage across 12 types from TMs, making it tough to find a safe switch. You're not locked into one angle here.
