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 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 Ho-Oh(#12) · Rhyperior(#14) · Shadow Rhyperior(#15), giving it real value as a meta counter.
On defense it resists Fire · Water · Ice · Steel, holding up well against those attackers.
Solid bulk lets it stall and grind out advantage in extended fights.
⚠ Weaknesses & threats
On defense it is weak to Electric · Grass, so watch out for those attackers.
It's notably unfavored into Black Kyurem (usage rank #21), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
GBL Note verdict
