      🔵 Great League

      Palpitoad’s slow moveset makes it one of the less useful Mudboys in Great League at present. Its slowness makes it difficult to apply shield pressure, and its wins are typically only against Pokémon that apply no fast move pressure in return. A move rebalance is required for Palpitoad to find success in the open meta.
