Bidoof's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Bidoof PvE Analysis

Bidoof is a cult icon in the Pokémon franchise, but its status and popularity are unfortunately not reflected well in its stats. As such, it should be kept as far away as possible from PvE battles. Please resist the urge of using this icon in ⚔️ Raids and 🛡️ Gyms! 😅

Bidoof PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Despite a solid moveset, Bidoof barely does any reasonable damage and is easy for opponents to farm energy against. However, one good thing about it is the versatile set of Charged Attacks that it can learn! This way, your opponent can never really predict what moves you're about to use and if they judge poorly, it can lead to some unexpected wins!

A max CP of only 815 makes the almighty Bidoof a poor performer in other PvP Leagues.
