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 Closer · Switch role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions.
• On defense it double-resists Ice · Poison · Steel · resists Normal · Water · Flying · Psychic · Bug · Rock etc, holding up well against those attackers.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is weak to Electric · Fighting · Ground, so watch out for those attackers.
• That said, it's unfavored into threats like Virizion, so avoid that head-to-head.
