Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

The Aculago with the largest, most luxuriant collar and train of dirt is the leader of its warren, so these Pokémon go out of their way to collect as much soil and debris as they possibly can. They carefully groom their dirt and will often decorate it with fancy twigs or shiny objects.


An Aculago's cloak is made of many deceptively thick layers of dirt that serve as an excellent buffer against enemy attacks. The weight of the dirt can become cumbersome, however, impeding its movement.
