Garbodor's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Garbodor PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Garbodor is a pure Poison-type Pokémon with a max CP of 2651. It is not useful for PvE, even with its best moveset of Infestation and Gunk Shot.

⚔️ Raids

Garbodor is sadly rubbish in raids. (Get it?!)

🛡️ Gyms

There are much better options available.

Garbodor PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Garbodor’s best moveset for PvP is Infestation, Body Slam, and Seed Bomb, but you don’t want to use Garbodor in PvP.

🔵 Great League

Garbodor just isn’t cut out for PvP and only barely makes the top 900 in the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League

Garbodor would need maxing out to level 50 with XL Candy to even try to compete, and even then, it’s just going to stink up the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

Garbodor will swiftly be sent to the recycling bin if used in the Master League.
