Vanillish's Tier Ranking

Vanillish PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

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. 🥱

Vanillish PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 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.

🟡 Ultra League
