Damage multipliers from all 18 attacking types
Sawsbuck's Normal / Grass typing gives it 6 weaknesses but strong offensive coverage against ground, rock, water types
Sawsbuck's 475 base stat total marks it as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Attack (100) carries most matchups, but a low Special Attack stat of 60 means careful positioning matters.
Its Normal, Grass typing leaves Sawsbuck with 6 weaknesses against 4 resistances and 1 full immunity. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 3 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 75 puts Sawsbuck in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
