      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Bonsly is a pure Rock-type baby Pokémon with a max CP of 1471. It is not useful for PvE, even with its best moveset of Rock Throw and Rock Slide.

      ⚔️ Raids

      Too small and weak.

      🛡️ Gyms

      There are much better options available.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Bonsly’s best moveset for PvP is Rock Throw, Rock Slide, and Earthquake, but it’s sadly not a particularly useful PvP Pokémon.

      🧸 Little Cup

      Bonsly does fit in the Little Cup and just breaks the top 100 Pokémon to use in it. Not great. It loses to major players like Bronzor and Wynaut, but does pick up a win over Vullaby.

      🔵 Great League

      Bonsly does fit in the Great League, but it requires maxing out to level 50 to even try to compete, and even then, it isn’t breaking the top 500 Pokémon rankings.

      🟡 Ultra League

      Bonsly just cannot hack it in Ultra League. (Hack, like you would a tree, get it?)

      🟣 Master League

      Poor Bonsly would be destroyed in Master League quicker than a whole horde of Bidoof destroying a tree.
