Biology

Physiology

Mudsdale's large, bulky body is a chocolate brown in color. The hoofs and hair around it are orange and extends to the knees. Mudsdale's snout is orange in color. The mane is solid black with orange on the top of it. Multiple bunches of hair also come from the mane, similarly tipped with orange at the end. Its tail is black tipped with orange as well. Mudsdale appears a bit chubby, with a plump, cylindrical midsection and a thick, rounded rump.

Behavior

Mudsdale is emotionally resilient and will not cry or flinch.Mudsdale chew dirt and mix it with their saliva to create a special mud, which they spit out and use to cover their bodies and hooves; this mud is resistant to wind and rain, protecting them from the elements as they travel. People used to coat the walls of their homes with Mudsdale mud to provide insulation.Mudsdale also enjoy mud, and even if they are less fickle than their pre-evolutions without it, trainers do comment that they seem to behave a bit more begrudgingly after staying dry for too long.

Natural abilities

True to its stamina ability, it has a robust physique that allows it to endure attacks very well. It mixes its spit and dirt to create special mud. It's mud also powers up its already powerful kicks to the extent that it can demolish a car in 1 kick.

Mudsdale is also very good at hauling heavy loads for extended periods of time without getting tired.

Evolution

Pokédex entries

• Sun

• Moon

  Its heavy, mud-covered kicks are its best means of attack, and it can reduce large trucks to scrap without breaking a sweat.

Origin

Mudsdale is based on draft horses. These horses are bred to be patient, have good stamina and strength as well as having a docile nature. They also have more robust builds than other horses.

As for the breed it is based on, it is most likely based on the Clydesdale, which originated in Scotland (which may explain why it is in the Galar Pokédex).

Etymology

Mudsdale is a portmanteau of mud and Clydesdale.

Its Japanese name, Banbadoro, is a portmanteau of 輓馬 (banba, draft horse) and 泥 (doro, mud).

Names in other languages

• German: Pampross, a portmanteau of Pampe (mash), Trampeln (trample), and Ross (horse).
