Budew's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Budew PvE Analysis

Budew is a Baby Pokémon, and you really can't expect tiny tots to partake in PvE. 🚼

⚔️ Raids

Extremely poor offensive potential makes Budew a non-Raid Pokémon.

🛡️ Gyms

Budew looks adorable in a Baby Pokémon-themed Gym, but otherwise, it's a terrible defender due to its low stats. 😐

🧸 Little Cup

A poor moveset, low stats, and limited coverage make Budew a sorry excuse for PvP. 😬

🔵 Great League

By not even going over 1000 CP, Budew doesn't work in the Great League. 👎
