PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Rock Attacker:
Rock Throw
Meteor Beam
Sudowoodo is a pure Rock-type Pokémon with a max CP of 2428. It is not useful for PvE, even with its best moveset of Rock Throw and Meteor Beam.
⚔️ Raids
Too small and weak.
🛡️ Gyms
There are much better options available.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Counter
Meteor Beam
Trailblaze - Ultra League:
Counter
Meteor Beam
Rock Tomb
Sudowoodo’s best moveset for PvP is Counter, Meteor Beam, and Trailblaze, but it is sadly not a particularly useful PvP Pokémon.
🔵 Great League
Sudowoodo does fit in the Great League, but it isn’t making any real impact. It loses to all the big mud bois and just doesn’t really pack a punch.
🟡 Ultra League
Sudowoodo does fit in the Ultra League, but it requires maxing out to level 50 with significant XL Candy investment. It just barely breaks the top 500 Pokémon, meaning there’s a whole forest of better options.
🟣 Master League
Sudowoodo is just too small to compete in the Master League, and should stick with pretending to be a tree.
