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 · 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 Kyogre(#7) · Dialga (Origin)(#10) · Ho-Oh(#12), giving it real value as a meta counter.
• On defense it double-resists Fire · Water · resists Steel, holding up well against those attackers.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is weak to Dragon · Fairy, so watch out for those attackers.
• High attack but thin bulk means shield management heavily decides its games.
• It's notably unfavored into Zacian (Crowned Sword) (usage rank #2), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.

GBL Note verdict
