PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Ice Attacker:
Frost Breath
Ice Beam
Vanillish's mid stats keep it from having any relevance in PvE.
⚔️ Raids
While Ice is a strong offensive typing, Raids require Pokémon with high stats to make a mark, and Vanillish isn't one of them. 😭
🛡️ Gyms
Vanillish performs poorly as a Gym defender, with its low bulk and bad defensive typing. 🥱
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Astonish
Icy Wind
Signal Beam
🔵 Great League
The buffed Astonish pairs well with Icy Wind, allowing Vanillish to deal appreciable damage and debuff the target's ATK with its Charged Move. This lets it beat some formidable foes like Charjabug, Cresselia, Stunfisk, and Corviknight, but outside of these matchups, it struggles to contribute.
