Mudpig is the quintessential farming EvoMon — 75 HP, 85 Defense, and Ground typing let it grind wild battles safely. Its 35 Speed is the lowest, but Rest + Amnesia makes it surprisingly tanky.
| Stat | Value | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| HP | 90 | Good |
| Attack | 55 | Low |
| Defense | 75 | Average |
| Speed | 35 | Low |
| Sp. Attack | 40 | Low |
| Sp. Defense | 60 | Average |
| Total | 355 |
Mudpig's stat distribution makes it best suited for farming roles. Focus on maximizing its strengths while covering its weaknesses through team composition.
Type Matchups
As a Ground-type EvoMon, Mudpig has specific type advantages and disadvantages:
Strong Against: Fire, Electric, Rock
Weak Against: Water, Ice, Grass
Resists: Electric, Rock, Poison
Ground destroys Electric, Fire, and Rock — Mudpig counters Thunderfang easily. Water and Grass are double trouble; never send Mudpig against Aquashell or Leafguardian.
Best Moveset and Build
The optimal moveset for Mudpig depends on your intended use:
PvE/Dungeon Build:
- Focus on physical attacks for maximum damage
- Include one coverage move for type matchups you are weak against
- Use stat-boosting moves when safe to set up sweeps
PvP Build:
- Dig and Body Slam — Dual STAB pressure
- Yawn (Sleep after 1 turn) — Disrupt opponents
- Rock Slide (Rock) — Handle common counters
| Move Type | Recommended | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| STAB Attack | Dig, Mud Bomb | Core damage |
| Coverage | Rock Slide (Rock), Poison Sting (Poison) | Handle counters |
| Status | Yawn (Sleep after 1 turn) | Disruption |
| Setup | Amnesia (+SpDef) | Enable sweeps |
Evolution and How to Get It
To obtain Mudpig, you first need to catch its pre-evolution Dirtlet. Dirtlet can be found in the wild on various islands.
Once you have Dirtlet, evolve it using Level 18. The evolution process requires reaching the appropriate level and having the necessary item.
Evolution tips:
- Level Dirtlet to at least level 20 before evolving for better base stats
- Make sure to teach Dirtlet all desired moves before evolution
- The evolution significantly boosts all stats, making it worth the investment
Team Composition Tips
Mudpig works best in teams that complement its strengths and cover its weaknesses:
Ideal teammates:
- Aquashell (Water) — Complements with Ice coverage
- Leafguardian (Grass) — Handles Water threats
Avoid pairing with:
- EvoMon that share the same weaknesses
- EvoMon that compete for the same role without adding coverage
The key to building around Mudpig is ensuring your team can handle the Ground-type's counters while Mudpig handles the threats it is strong against.
