Pidove's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Pidove PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids

Pidove is a dual Normal and Flying type Pokémon. Its low Attack stat and limited Max CP of 958 leave it with no meta relevance, making it mostly a Pokédex entry.

🛡️ Gyms

First stage Pokémon usually lack the stats to defend Gyms and Pidove is no exception.

Pidove PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Pidove's best moves in PvP are Quick Attack, Air Cutter, and Heat Wave, or Return if you have a purified Pidove. Pidove ranks better as a Purified Pokémon for Little Cup than the regular or Shadow version, as Return is a better option alongside Air Cutter. It performs exceedingly well in zero and 1v1 shield scenarios.

🔵 Great League

Pidove with just a max CP of 958, is underpowered for Great League. It should ideally be evolved.
