    Base Stat Total: 247
    Pokedex Entry: A single tree can contain entire colonies of Stixic. In order to feed, they will pierce the bark with their thorns in order to draw out anything living inside.

    Pokedex Entry: It will latches onto trees and blend in while hanging its tail out to trick unsuspecting prey, namely small birds, into perching on it. When the unsuspecting prey lands on it tail, toxic spikes are violently injected into the perched target, immobilizing them, allowing the Brambrach to have an easy feeding. Even though it is quite large, it can blend in perfectly with trees making it almost invisible, even up close
