      Herdier is a pure Normal-type Pokémon, and Normal-types do not make great raid attackers, as no Pokémon is weak to Normal-type moves.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Great LeagueGreat League

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      Herdier is just shy of being a viable Pokémon in the Great League.

      As a Normal-type, it has very few weaknesses, which would normally make it a strong safe swap.

      However, Herdier has average stats, neither excelling in Attack nor Defense.

      It has Sand Attack, which is a fantastic Fast Move for energy generation.

      Unfortunately, Herdier lacks spammy Charged Moves, relying only on high-energy nukes, which makes it fairly predictable.
