Bibarel's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Bibarel PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Bibarel has low stats all across the board, with its ATK too low even for usage in Tier 1 Raids. In the same vein, its bulk isn't high enough to justify defending Gyms.

Bibarel PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Appreciable bulk for PvP and some handy moves make Bibarel quite the menace in the Great League! With Rollout giving exceptional energy gains, Bibarel is very efficient at using Hyper Fang and Surf, two hard-hitting moves that punish a good portion of the Great League meta.

With these, Bibarel beats Shadow Feraligatr, Dewgong, Azumarill, Tinkaton, Corviknight, Lickilicky, Fearow, and Ghosts like Mimikyu, Galarian Corsola, and Shadow Sableye. That said, it can't beat other prominent Ghosts such as regular Sableye, Gourgeist Super, and obviously, Annihilape, making it inconsistent in this role. Overall, Bibarel does have its moments but you should note that it is not a top-notch contender and can be substituted by better attackers.

With a max CP of only 2061 CP, Bibarel doesn't work out in the higher PvP Leagues.
