      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Lacking both offensive and defensive qualities suitable for PvE, Nuzleaf is only meant to be Candy fodder for evolution into Shiftry, not Raids and Gyms.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      STAB Grass and Dark are both useful types in the Great League, and Nuzleaf even has a decent moveset (especially the formidable Leaf Blade). Unfortunately, its DEF is too low, and its max CP is only 1387. Together, these factors choke Nuzleaf's potential in these battles. Just focus on using Shiftry.

      Nuzleaf can't handle the other PvP Leagues.
