Mudbud is Dex #85, a dual Ground/Grass Evomon caught in Amber Acres. Its name reads like its design: mud for the Ground half, a young bud for the Grass half — a sprout that has yet to shake the soil from its roots. With a modest 260 total base stats and a top figure of 46 Attack, it is an early-game physical body rather than a sweeper. It carries no EM slot, sits at rarity SSS and community rank E, spawns in any weather, and caps at level 90.

Field Notes ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)
Observed in the field, Mudbud presents as a low, grounded specimen — the kind of creature you nearly step on before you notice it. The Ground/Grass pairing is unusual enough to be worth logging: it is one of the few revealed Evomon carrying two elements, and that combination shapes both its look and its matchups. Expect a squat, earth-caked body with plant growth, consistent with a name that fuses "mud" and "bud." Like every revealed creature to date, it registers as rarity SSS and community rank E, spawns under any weather, and tops out at level 90. Notably, Mudbud has no EM slot, so it cannot take the extra move or equipment that some other specimens field — a point to weigh before building a team around it. Our records list its mutation as none.
Base Stats & Battle Role ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)
Mudbud's base stat line reads 43 HP, 46 Attack, 44 Defense, 43 Special Attack, 43 Special Defense, and 41 Speed, for a total of 260. That is a remarkably flat distribution — nothing spikes, nothing collapses. Attack at 46 is its single highest figure, and Defense at 44 is a close second, which points to a physical role with a little staying power rather than a glass cannon or a dedicated wall. Speed at 41 is the lowest value, so Mudbud will usually move second and should be built to absorb a hit and answer it. The near-even split between physical and special bulk — 44 Defense against 43 Special Defense — means it is not obviously easier to break from either side. With only 260 total, it is plainly an early-stage specimen, and its numbers read as a foundation for a heavier evolved form rather than a finished battler.
Evolution & Where to Find ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)
Mudbud is a base-stage creature: our records list no pre-evolution, so it does not arrive by evolving something earlier. It does have a next stage — internally logged as entry #86 — but that evolution's art and name have not yet been revealed, and the trigger that promotes Mudbud into it is not yet documented. We therefore log the follow-up as an unrevealed evolution rather than guess at it. For catching, head to Amber Acres, the only location recorded for this specimen; it is a natural spawn there rather than a "Via Evo" exclusive, so you can encounter and catch it directly with a suitable ball, such as an Advanced Ball. As with every revealed Evomon, it can appear in any weather, which means no special forecast is required to farm it. Because it caps at level 90, there is room to raise it well past the point most players would evolve it.
Frequently asked questions
Is Mudbud worth using?
Mudbud is a serviceable early-game pick rather than a standout. Its 260 total base stats are modest and evenly spread, with Attack at 46 as its only real strength and Speed at 41 as a weakness. Treat it as a foundation you invest in for its evolved form, not a finished battler.
What does Mudbud evolve into?
Mudbud evolves into a later stage logged internally as Dex #86, but that creature's name and artwork have not been revealed yet, and the exact evolution trigger is undocumented. Until the developers surface it, we list the next form as an unrevealed evolution rather than naming or dating it.
Where do I catch Mudbud?
Mudbud spawns in Amber Acres, the only location recorded for it. It is a direct wild catch rather than a Via Evo exclusive, so you can encounter it there and secure it with a ball such as an Advanced Ball. Like all revealed Evomon it appears in any weather, so no special conditions apply.
