PvE Analysis
No surprises here but Lotad is simply not a PvE Pokémon, bearing the typically low stats associated with the base of a three-stage evolution line.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Little Cup:Water Gun Energy Ball Scald
🧸 Little Cup
With an extremely high resistance to Water type moves, Lotad breezes through the likes of Barboach, Seel, and Wooper. Other prominent wins include Wigglytuff, Swinub, and Wynaut. While Lotad can't muster too many wins on its own, it's great as a safe switch-in, taking Water, Ground, and even Fire and Electric types off-guard.
Lotad lacks sufficient stats for any other PvP League.
