Wooloo's stats barely vary. None sit in respectable range with no real gaps. It's a blank slate for EV investment. Worth 1 Defense EV, medium-fast 1M XP curve to max.
Its curly fleece is such an effective cushion that this Pokémon could fall off a cliff and stand right back up at the bottom, unharmed.
If its fleece grows too long, Wooloo won’t be able to move. Cloth made with the wool of this Pokémon is surprisingly strong.
Wooloo's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. Only 1 weakness makes it relatively easy to build around defensively.
