⚔️ Raids

This miniature centipede has nothing to boast about with its stats, making it completely useless in raid battles. If you want to bring a Bug/Poison-type, bring Beedrill.

🛡️ Gyms

The phrase "Squashed like a bug" comes to mind.

🧸 Little League

We couldn't find anything positive to review about Venipede for Little League. It resists its own typing, so even in a themed cup with limited options, there are far better choices available.

🔵 Great League

Maxing out at a lowly 799 CP, Venipede can barely get over half the CP needed to even be thought of as viable. And given its poor ranking in Little League, it wouldn’t make an impact even if it had higher CP.

🟡 Ultra League

Things only get worse when Venipede faces Pokémon with nearly four times its max CP!

🟣 Master League

Once again, "Squashed like a bug" comes to mind.
