In-Depth Analysis
Ludicolo totals 480 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Special Defense (100) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Attack (70).
Its Water, Grass typing leaves Ludicolo with 3 weaknesses against 3 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 4 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Ludicolo a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
