      Recommended moves

      ⚔️ Raids

      Sawk is one of the Fighting-type martial arts duo from Unova.

      As a Fighting-type raid attacker, Sawk prefers the moveset of Low Kick and Focus Blast and is strong against Normal, Rock, Steel, Ice, and Dark-type Pokémon.

      However, Sawk isn’t a particularly strong raid attacker, with many better options available. Still, it can be used if you don’t have better alternatives.

      🔮 Dynamax

      N/A

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      Sawk is a frail, attack-weighted Pokémon with an overall stat total of 1589. Because of this, it is unlikely to ever perform well in the Great League.

      🟡 Ultra League

      Sawk has comparatively better stats in the Ultra League, though it still isn’t particularly impressive.

      It remains quite frail and lacks a good fast attack, as Low Kick isn’t ideal for PvP. As a result, Sawk has to rely on non-STAB Poison Jab.

      🟣 Master League

      With a max CP of 3152, Sawk is too weak to compete in the legendary-dominated Master League.

      Fighting Fighting

      Pokédex informationMore information

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

      Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
      • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.
