Mudbray (Japanese : ドロバンコ Dorobanko ) is a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII .
It evolves into Mudsdale starting at level 30.
Biology
Mudbray is a quadrupedal, equine Pokémon resembling a small donkey . It has a dark brown coat with a cream-colored underbelly, muzzle, and circular markings on each cheek. A short, teardrop-shaped blaze extends up from its muzzle, and it has long, pointed ears with pink insides. Its large eyes have horizontal pupils. Black bangs hang over its face before turning into a stiff mane along its neck. Additionally, it has a short, black tail. Thick, cream-colored mud surrounds each black hoof.
Mudbray can be kept happy by giving it time to frolic in and consume mud. Mudbray's diet consists of eating dirt in order to create mud. It then regurgitates the mud in order to cover itself in it. Mudbray's mud won't dry out, even when exposed to the sun for long periods of time. Denying it this will cause it to become stressed and disobey its Trainer. This Pokémon boasts immense strength for its size and is able to drag or carry loads up to fifty times its own weight. Mudbray are known to be skilled at using mud. The mud that collects around its hooves enhances its grip and power. Notably, it allows Mudbray to travel rough terrains without slipping. Because it was hunted nearly to extinction when it lived all over the world, it was believed for a time to run wild only in Alola .[ 1] Despite this, Mudbray have been seen roaming in Galar and Paldea , suggesting that its population is slowly recovering from near extinction. Prior to Generation IX , Mudbray and its evolved form, Mudsdale , were the only known Pokémon that could have Stamina as an Ability .
