Blitzle's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Blitzle PvE Analysis

With mediocre numbers in every stat, Blitzle is not built for PvE combat. Neither is its ATK even decent enough for Tier 1 Raids usage, nor is its DEF functional enough for Gym defense.

Blitzle PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Blitzle is extremely fragile, making it a sitting duck for Pokémon with hard-hitting Fast Moves. Its performance is so disappointing that even Seel cuts it down to less than 1/4th of its max HP in the (1-1) shield scenario when Blitzle is using a complete Electric-type moveset. Its wins are too few to consider giving it a spot in your team.

With a max CP of only 998, Blitzle is not usable in any other PvP League.
