      Hoothoot in the meta

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Hoothoot is a weak Pokémon with stats that give it zero viability in the PvE meta. Don't use it in Raids or even Gyms, where it can't defend itself even against Fast Moves.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🧸 Little Cup

      Hoothoot is impressively bulky and has strong attacks that establish it as a fearsome threat in the Little Cup. It beats almost everything except Deino, Bronzor, Wynaut, and a number of other Steel and Ice types. It is particularly good against the numerous Bug, Grass, and Water Pokémon, making it work as a core breaker on many occasions.

      Hoothoot is too weak for the other PvP Leagues.
