⚔️ Raids
Xatu is a Psychic and Flying-type Pokémon and the evolution of Natu. It has painfully middle-of-the-road stats, an unimpressive movepool to do single-type damage, and is weak to many types of attacks to boot. As such, Xatu is not a particularly good raid attacker.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Peck
Psyshock
Shadow Ball - Ultra League:
Peck
Psyshock
Shadow Ball
Xatu has middle-of-the-road stats, leaning more towards attack, making it relatively frail. This is worsened by the fact that its type combination leaves it weak to five different types of attacks. And despite some move shakeups, it still doesn’t have anything that is spammy enough or damage-dealing enough to justify its other shortcomings. As such, Xatu just does not do well in any of the main league formats.
