PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Normal Attacker:
Low Kick
Hyper Fang
⚔️ Raids
Watchog is a pure Normal-type Pokémon.
As such, Watchog doesn’t have a place as a raid attacker, as no Pokémon are weak to Normal-type moves.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Low Kick
Crunch
Hyper Fang
🔵 Great League
Watchog does not perform well in the Great League at all.
One of the biggest advantages of being a Normal-type in this league is having very few weaknesses, allowing bulky Normal-types to function as some of the best safe swaps.
Unfortunately, Watchog is extremely frail.
Additionally, its only reliable Fast Move is Bite, which generates very little energy and is not complemented by spammy Charged Moves.
🟡 Ultra League
With a max CP of 2056, Watchog is too weak for the Ultra League.
🟣 Master League
With a max CP of 2056, Watchog is far too weak for the Master League.
