Early in their lives, young Mukkuru shed some of their cuteness and evolve into this adolescent avian. Mukkubird naturally have better stats than their cuddly forebears, but as their form becomes more imposing they're able to intimidate their opponents to lower their attack power. Furthermore, Mukkubird can learn two Hidden Machine moves to help you navigate Sinnoh: Fly, to quickly move from town to town, and Fog Clear, which blows away thick fog that would otherwise impede.
