      ⚔️ Raids

      Illumise is a single-stage, pure Bug-type Pokémon. It has a max CP of 2002 and a DPS of around just 8. Unfortunately, there are many other Bug-type Pokémon that can fit the role of a raid attacker better than Illumise.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      Illumise, with its max CP of 2002, is obviously too weak for the Master and Ultra Leagues. It doesn’t perform particularly well in the Great League either. While its overall stat total is high, each of its three main stats is just average. Not only that, Illumise only has Charged Attacks that require more energy than the damage they output, making it ineffective. Overall, not a solid choice in any of the three main leagues.
