PvE Analysis

Slugma PvE Analysis

Close

Slugma is a pure Fire-type Pokémon and there will be no inappropriate jokes made in this guide. As Slugma is a pre-evolution with the attack stat of an empty sack, there is no reason to use it as a raid attacker.

Recommended moves

• Little Cup:EmberRock SlideFlame Charge

🧸 Little Cup

While Slugma is too weak for any of the main three leagues, it is actually decent in the 500 CP Little Cup format. Though it is pretty frail, Ember allows Slugma to get to its charged attacks very fast, and since Pokémon in the Little Cup tend to have pretty low HP in general, you need only successfully connect one or two effective charged attacks to deal with most.

Slugma’s typing also helps it out quite a lot as it allows it to threaten meta threats such as Cottonee and Bronzor. And it allows Slugma to enter limited formats such as the Little Element Cup where it goes from being decent to being one of the best.
