PvP Analysis

Swinub PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

The chilling fast energy generation of Powder Snow, the Attack debuffing effects of Icy Wind, and Body Slam spam make Swinub a fine contender in the Little Cup. 😊

The problem? Swinub can’t take hits, leaving it all alone in the cold. 🥶

🔵 Great League

Swinub won’t get you any wins in the Great League. It’s best left for the Little Cup. 🐻

🟡 Ultra League

It doesn’t have the stats to battle here.

🟣 Master League

Nah.
