PvE Analysis

Venonat PvE Analysis

Close

Poor ATK and bulk make Venonat, a little bug, extremely squishy in both Raids and Gyms.

PvP Analysis

Venonat PvP Analysis

Close

🧸 Little Cup

Handy resistances, decent bulk, and most importantly, a wide range of moves in its arsenal; all these factors make Venonat a legitimate threat in the Little League. Venonat is not just efficient against Grass, Poison, and Fighting types, but also claims core Pokémon such as Barboach, Chansey, Igglybuff, Wigglytuff, Altaria, and Seel. With some energy advantage, it even takes down Chinchou. However, do note that except Scrafty and Obstagoon, it can't beat other Dark types of the format.

With a max CP of only 1135, Venonat isn't suitable for any other PvP League.
