Herdier PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids

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.

Herdier PvP Analysis

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.
