Ludicolo's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Ludicolo PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Ludicolo is a fun Pokémon to see in the 🛡️ Gyms as it keeps on dancing but sadly, that's all there is to this Water/Grass type. It's a great combo but mediocre stats hinder its usage in the PvE meta, be it ⚔️ Raids or 🛡️ Gyms. Tragic, because Ludicolo could have been an excellent counter to Water Pokémon had it been blessed with a higher ATK.

Ludicolo PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

The Precious Paths GBL shakeup has propelled Ludicolo to a new level of power in the Great League. It now gets great coverage, is still spammy as always, and boasts an incredible defensive typing (Water and Grass cancel some of each other's weaknesses).

Ludicolo now scares off Ghosts like Galarian Corsola, Annihilape, Doublade, Dusclops, and Dusknoir, and also takes down fearsome threats like Empoleon, Tinkaton, Scizor, Shadow Sableye, and Malamar. As such, Ludicolo is a great counter to the League's biggest Steel types even without having a super-effective move against them.

Many Water and Fire types (including both regular and Shadow Talonflame) are defeated by Ludicolo, and it even manages to beat oddballs like Clodsire.

Ludicolo is a great switch-in against Water and Ground types, and overall, this is a superb Pokémon in almost any time of the battle, helping you often throw the opponent's strategies out of the window, creating a significant disruption to their team.

🟡 Ultra League

Ludicolo's disruptive battle style is also effective in the Ultra League, and it's actually a bigger force to be reckoned with in this format. It beats Cresselia, Shadow Scizor, Steelix, and every major Water type except Kingdra and Tentacruel (yes, it eliminates all the Hydro Cannon folks). That said, keep in mind that even though Ludicolo is generally good against Ghost types, it can only beat Giratina Altered in the (2-2) shields scenario. Overall, Ludicolo is a fine addition to the Ultra League meta, and can win you many matches, even in clutch situations. 👏

🟣 Master League

Ludicolo lacks stats for the Master League.
