Gorebyss's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Gorebyss PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Gorebyss is a pure Water-type Pokémon with a max CP of 2820. It is not useful for PvE, even with its best moveset of Water Gun and Psychic.

⚔️ Raids

There are many better Water-types that are much easier to catch in the wild. Gorebyss is both difficult to build and simply not a good option.

🛡️ Gyms

There are much better options available.

Gorebyss PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Gorebyss’s best PvP moveset is Water Gun, Water Pulse, and Psychic. However, it is not a useful PvP Pokémon.

🔵 Great League

Having Psychic makes Gorebyss feel more viable than its counterpart Huntail, but it is a glass cannon, making it a poor PvP option.

🟡 Ultra League

Gorebyss is a terrible Ultra League choice due to its lack of bulk. It loses to many top Ultra League Pokémon, including Altered Forme Giratina, Feraligatr, Skeledirge, and Annihilape. Yes, this Water-type even loses to Fire-types.

🟣 Master League

No.
