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

• Its Lead · Closer · Switch 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) · Tinkaton(#2) · Guzzlord(#18), giving it real value as a meta counter.
• On defense it resists Fire · Water · Ice · Bug · Rock · Dark etc, holding up well against those attackers.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is weak to Electric · Grass · Flying · Psychic · Fairy, so watch out for those attackers.
• It's notably unfavored into Mimikyu (usage rank #12), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.

GBL Note verdict

It's barely seen in the last 30 days of field data. On paper it's B-tier, with an edge expected in matchups like Lickilicky(#1) · Tinkaton(#2) · Guzzlord(#18).
