Duosion's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Duosion PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Duosion gets a bump to its Attack stat and sports a respectable value of 208. However, it's fragile and has a weak moveset that prevents it from being considered for PvE battles like raids and gyms.

Duosion PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Zen Headbutt is one of the worst Quick attacks in PvP, and the other option, Hidden Power, is cumbersome to use. 😮‍💨 Add the poor bulk, and you see why Duosion shouldn't be used in PvP battles, even in limited Cups. 😬
