Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Wingull's spread. It leans special with Speed out front. And you'll get 1 Speed EV per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It makes its nest on a sheer cliff at the edge of the sea. It has trouble keeping its wings flapping in flight. Instead, it soars on updrafts.
Wingull Weakness
Type-wise, Wingull takes extra damage from Electric and Rock. Watch out for Electric attacks, those deal 4x damage. Ground moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. The Water/Flying typing picks up 5 resistances to work with.
