Mudsdale Sprites
It spits a mud that provides resistance to both wind and rain, so the walls of old houses were often coated with it.
Its heavy, mud-covered kicks are its best means of attack, and it can reduce large trucks to scrap without breaking a sweat.
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.
It can trudge mountain roads without rest for three days and three nights, all the while dragging a 10-ton load.
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.
