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 Zacian (Crowned Sword)(#2) · Xerneas(#4) · Dialga (Origin)(#10), giving it real value as a meta counter.
On defense it double-resists Fire · Ice · Steel · resists Bug · Fairy, holding up well against those attackers.
⚠ Weaknesses & threats
On defense it is weak to Electric · Ground · Rock, so watch out for those attackers.
High attack but thin bulk means shield management heavily decides its games.
It's notably unfavored into Palkia (Origin) (usage rank #6), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
