Gulpin PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids

Gulpin is the first of a two-stage Poison-type Pokémon line. It has a max CP of 979. Needless to say, Gulpin is not a good pick as a raid attacker.

Gulpin PvP Analysis

With a max CP of 979, this silly little Goober obviously cannot be used to find any success in any of the three main metas. Even in the 500 CP Little Cup format, Gulpin does not perform particularly well.
