Vanilluxe's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Vanilluxe PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Vanilluxe has a functional ATK stat and average bulk, but its main drawback is its poor moveset. 😐

⚔️ Raids

It’s not entirely useless. If you’re desperate or bored, you can add it to your Ice-type squad, and it can contribute to some extent. But let’s be honest: there are SO MANY better Ice types in Pokémon GO. 🥶

🛡️ Gyms

Like its pre-evolutions, Vanilluxe is a terrible Gym defender, suffering from the same issues: mono Ice typing and low bulk. Keep the entire line out of Gyms.

Vanilluxe PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Blizzard and Signal Beam as Charged Moves? Eww. 🤢

Ice creams are usually sweet, but there’s no sugarcoating Vanilluxe. It’s borderline useless in PvP. Yes, even worse than Vanillish. 😢
