Azelf PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Azelf had a remarkable Attack stat of 270 as well as a good attackset, immediately putting it in Psychic-type PvE contention. However, it is largely outclassed by others, including non-Megas and non-Shadows. If you're short on strong Psychic Pokémon, feel free to use Azelf. 👍

⚔️ Raids

Even non-Legendary Pokémon with the attack Psychic (Alakazam and Espeon) do more damage. Plus, they are cheaper to power up, making Azelf a second thought. 😐

🛡️ Gyms

N/A

💥 The best attackset for Azelf in PvE are Confusion and Future Sight.

Azelf PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Azelf’s Attack-heavy stats and clunky attackset make it a poor battler in the Great and Ultra League. In the Master League, Mewtwo exists as a far, far better option. Besides, its poor attackset results in Azelf being decimated by opponents before it can make any meaningful impact.
