Thievul Dark · Great League
📊 Real pick rate (last 30 days) 6%
GBL Note Analysis Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings
✔ Strengths & how to use Its Lead · 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) · Empoleon(#19), giving it real value as a meta counter. On defense it double-resists Psychic · resists Ghost · Dark, holding up well against those attackers. ⚠ Weaknesses & threats On defense it is weak to Fighting · Bug · Fairy, so watch out for those attackers. It's notably unfavored into Tinkaton (usage rank #2), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta. GBL Note verdict At a 6% real pick rate, it sees moderate use in Great League. Ranked #41 on paper yet #14 by real usage — chosen more in practice than theory implies.
