🧸 Little League
Whimsicott performs quite well in the Little Cup format, but is rarely eligible to participate. There are bulkier options, but its typing and spammy moveset can be very useful.
🔵 Great League
Whimsicott is a very strong pick in the Great League meta, featuring a unique Grass/Fairy typing and a very good moveset. The fast pacing of Whimsicott comes down to the power of Fairy Wind, which helps it reach its bait and charged moves rapidly. It doesn’t have the best bulk, but it can pack a serious punch.
🟡 Ultra League
Whimsicott is absolutely a spice pick in the Ultra League. Its max CP is 2277, meaning it is typically underpowered compared to the main meta, but its unique typing gives it strong matchups against Fighting-, Water-, and Dragon-types. Just keep it away from Tentacruel and Talonflame!
🟣 Master League
This cottonball is not going to withstand the might of the many legendaries in the max CP format.
