Strategy Overview
When one looks at Budew, the first thing that comes to mind is how cute it is with its endearing sleepy eyes and adorable petite stature. But take one look at its stats, and that love quickly turns into disappointment. However, with great assets such as Spikes, Stun Spore, Leaf Storm, and Natural Cure, backed up by an efficient stat distribution, Budew can make quite a splash in Little Cup. Although it does suffer from frailty issues, Budew can be somewhat decent if it is backed up by good teammates and used correctly.
