GBL Note Analysis

Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings

Limited field sample — not seen enough in the last 30 days of GBL Note data, so the analysis below is based on simulation and type matchups.

Strengths & how to use

  • High matchup stability gives it even, reliable performance across a wide field.
  • It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Tinkaton(#2) · Mimikyu(#12) · Empoleon(#19), giving it real value as a meta counter.
  • On defense it double-resists Grass · Poison · resists Normal · Ice · Psychic · Bug · Dragon · Steel etc, holding up well against those attackers.

Weaknesses & threats

  • On defense it is doubly weak to Fire, so watch out for those attackers.
  • That said, it's unfavored into threats like Shadow Ninetales, so avoid that head-to-head.

GBL Note verdict

It's barely seen in the last 30 days of field data. On paper it's S-tier, with an edge expected in matchups like Tinkaton(#2) · Mimikyu(#12) · Empoleon(#19).
