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.

Trevenant Guide
In X & Y, Natural Cure changes the entire equation for Trevenant. The 474 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Phantomforce with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
Natural Cure is what you want on Trevenant. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Frisk, Harvest) work on paper but Natural Cure is what makes Trevenant worth using.
At base 56 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Trevenant is a physical attacker with base 110 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as an attacker.
In X & Y, run Phantomforce, Leech Seed, Horn Leech, and Drain Punch on Trevenant. Phantomforce is the most common pick at 19% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Trevenant joined the series in X & Y and has been available in 7 titles so far. With 5 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
