Biology

Mudsdale makes its own mud and uses it to increase its strength and grip. Now able to carry loads up to 10 tons, it is incredibly popular on farms. Despite this, it was nearly hunted to extinction in the past.

  1. Mudsdale has so much stamina that it could carry over 10 tons across the Galar region without rest or sleep.

    Shield
  2. Mud that hardens around a Mudsdale’s legs sets harder than stone. It’s so hard that it allows this Pokémon to scrap a truck with a single kick.

    Sword
  3. It can trudge mountain roads without rest for three days and three nights, all the while dragging a 10-ton load.

    Ultra Moon
  4. It remains calm and unmoving no matter the situation. It mixes dirt with the saliva in its mouth to make a special kind of mud.

    Ultra Sun
  5. Its heavy, mud-covered kicks are its best means of attack, and it can reduce large trucks to scrap without breaking a sweat.

    Moon
  6. It spits a mud that provides resistance to both wind and rain, so the walls of old houses were often coated with it.
