While most trainers evolve Stufful into Bewear immediately, the unevolved form has a niche with Eviolite boosting its defenses. Ghost moves can't touch it, which offsets the 4 weaknesses somewhat. Known as the Flailing Pokemon. The stat spread favors raw physical power.
Stufful's spread isn't flashy. Attack leads, Sp. Atk trails, 0 stats clear the bar. Common in the wild and worth 1 Attack EV, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Despite its adorable appearance, when it gets angry and flails about, its arms and legs could knock a pro wrestler sprawling.
A touch from anyone except a known friend sends it into a surging frenzy. It’s an incredibly dangerous Pokémon.
