Lore
Biology
Stoutland is a heavyset dog, 1.2 m tall and 61 kg, with a dark blue back, grayish-blue legs and long white-tipped cream plumes of fur on its face that trail along its body. Its small eyes are almost hidden behind its facial fur, and its light brown paws have white claws.
Behaviour
Stoutland is intelligent, good-natured and brave, and the Pokédex calls it a trustworthy partner on rescue teams that rescues people caught in mountain blizzards or stranded at sea. The Pokédex says moustache length decides social standing among Stoutland. Even a wild one warms to people in about three days, and some parents trust one to babysit.
Habitat
The Pokédex names no habitat. In Black and White it appears on Route 10 and in Cold Storage.
Powers
Its Abilities are Intimidate and Sand Rush, with Scrappy hidden. In Sword and Shield it knows Ice Fang, Fire Fang and Thunder Fang from the start and later learns Play Rough and Crunch. With 110 base Attack and 90 in both defences it is a tough physical attacker.
Name origin
Stoutland may combine 'stout' (bulky) with 'Newfoundland' or 'Scotland', a hint at the Scottish terrier. The Japanese name is Mooland (ムーランド), which may mix mukuinu (shaggy dog), muchimuchi (plump) and the same two place names.
Design inspiration
Stoutland seems to combine a Shih Tzu and a Maltese with traits of Yorkshire and Scottish terriers. Its talent for mountain and sea rescues may also recall St. Bernards and Newfoundlands.
Evolution notes
Stoutland evolves from Herdier at level 32 and is the final stage.
