Wormadam (Sandy Cloak) PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Wormadam (Sand Cloak) is a Bug and Ground dual-type Pokémon and the evolved form of Burmy (Sand Cloak). Much like other Wormadam forms, Sand Cloak Wormadam has largely defensive stats and a limited move pool. As such, Wormadam does not make for a good Raid Attacker, either as a Bug or Ground-type.

Wormadam (Sandy Cloak) PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Wormadam (Sand Cloak) is better than Wormadam (Plant Cloak) thanks to the fact that Bug and Ground is a far less debilitating type than Bug and Grass. Not only that, Sand Cloak Wormadam has a bit spammier charge attacks as well. None of these is to say it is significantly better than Sand Cloak though. This is because the Ground secondary type makes it weak to Water-types, one of the most common types in the league. And while Sand Cloak’s move pool is better, it is still pretty limited.

🟡 Ultra League

With a max CP of 2005 and equally low stats to boot, Wormadam (Sand Cloak) is not a good fit for the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

With a max CP of 2005, Wormadam is by no means strong enough to be used in the legendary-dominated Master League.
