Strategy Overview
Mudkip is generally an average Pokemon--it has a good Attack stat, decent defenses, and a usable Special Attack stat, but its mediocre Speed is what hinders it. Mudkip has a small movepool, but it can still threaten several Pokemon. It has access to uncommon moves such as Mirror Coat, Counter, and Curse, all of which have their own uses and surprise factor. Due to Mudkip's mixed stats it can function as a bulky Pokemon, or even a fully offensive sweeper. The flexibility in its role makes Mudkip a useful Pokemon.
