Stats & Training
Everything pushes toward physical damage here. Unfezant's Attack does the work, Sp. Def pays the price. But you're still getting 3 Attack EVs per KO. Tough to catch, on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Unfezant are exceptional fliers. The females are known for their stamina, while the males outclass them in terms of speed.
This Pokémon is intelligent and intensely proud. People will sit up and take notice if you become the Trainer of one.
Unfezant Weakness
Electric, Ice, and Rock moves hit Unfezant for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground and Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Unfezant's physical bulk (base 80 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
