GBL Note Analysis

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

Strengths & how to use

  • Its Lead · Closer role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions.
  • It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Lickilicky(#1) · Empoleon(#19), giving it real value as a meta counter.

Weaknesses & threats

  • On defense it is doubly weak to Bug · is weak to Fairy, so watch out for those attackers.
  • It's notably unfavored into Guzzlord (usage rank #18), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.

GBL Note verdict

At a 3% real pick rate, it's a niche sighting in Great League. Ranked #59 on paper yet #41 by real usage — chosen more in practice than theory implies.
