hrm... well, since it isn't a trapinch anymore, it can't learn dig [at level 41]. which is a shame, that's a great move for that family, and also useful for breeding into other species (if it's male)

also, you should have initially trained it by only being in fights with things that give special defense EVs. for example, you should only have a brand new trapinch fight 510 tentacools before it fights anything else. it should not be involved with ANY other fight, unless that fight gives a special defense point.

what in the world is this crap
