Hoothoot PvE Analysis

Close

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.

🧸 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.
