    Samurott PvE Analysis

    Recommended moves

    • Water Attacker:WaterWaterfallWaterHydro Cannon

    ⚔️ Raids

    Samurott is a decent, but not incredible, Water-type attacker, currently ranked 21st overall with Waterfall and Hydro Cannon. It has a decent attack stat, but like most starter Pokémon, its CP sits in the low 3000s, which limits its damage output.

    🛡️ Gyms

    It’s not the bulkiest or strongest Pokémon to defend gyms with.

    • Master League:BugFury CutterWaterHydro CannonWaterRazor Shell

    Preferred Moveset

    Fury Cutter, Hydro Cannon & Megahorn*

    🧸 Little League

    Samurott would like more bulk to properly participate in the Little Cup format, but its spammy Hydro Cannons can be deadly.

    🔵 Great League

    Samurott is better suited to limited formats at present, due to other Water-types performing slightly better and the prevalence of Poison-types limiting its Fast Move output. A moveset rework or meta shift may change this in the future, and Samurott will be ready with its fast pacing to Hydro Cannons and decent coverage.

    🟡 Ultra League

    Similar to the Great League, Samurott is slightly outclassed by other Water-types at present, and its Bug-type coverage is unappreciated in the current meta. However, it is definitely a worthwhile investment for limited cups and to potentially take advantage of a future meta shift.

    🟣 Master League

    Samurott doesn’t perform strongly in the Master League or Master Premier formats, so consider other Water-type investments instead, such as Feraligatr or Swampert.
