Stats & Training
Attack and HP carry most of Trevenant's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Moderately hard to find and yields 2 Attack EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It can control trees at will. It will trap people who harm the forest, so they can never leave.
Using its roots as a nervous system, it controls the trees in the forest. It’s kind to the Pokémon that reside in its body.
Trevenant Weakness
Fire, Ice, Flying, Ghost, and Dark moves hit Trevenant for super-effective damage. The upside? Normal and Fighting-type moves can't touch it at all. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses.
