You can't expect PvE relevance from the first Pokémon of a three-stage evolution line. Patience, Larvitar, you are destined for great things as you evolve. 🙂

Naturally, Larvitar doesn’t work out in Raids or Gyms.

🧸 Little Cup

Larvitar’s Bite and Crunch lack STAB, while its only viable STAB move, Ancient Power, lacks enough power. On top of that, Larvitar can’t take hits due to its low DEF. 🥲

Victories against prominent Fire- and Ghost-types are expected, but it fails miserably against the common Water-types. 🌊

Larvitar loses badly in the Great, Ultra, and Master League.
