Emolga's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Emolga PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Emolga is another run-of-the-mill Pikachu clone, and just like the iconic Pokémon, Emolga’s stats are also low.

Naturally, it shouldn’t be used in raids or gyms by any means. 😅

Emolga PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

💥 The best PvP moveset for Emolga is Thunder Shock, Discharge, and Acrobatics.

🔵 Great League

  • Just like lightning, Emolga has a fast moveset that puts the Great League meta on notice.
  • Thunder Shock helps Discharge and Acrobatics charge up quickly, making it a threat to Water, Flying, Fighting, and Grass-types. 😎
  • Emolga often steamrolls opponents, but keep in mind that it can’t take too many hits.
  • Think of it as a mini Zapdos. ⚡

🟡 Ultra League

  • Emolga maxes out at 1847 CP, so it isn’t viable for the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

  • NO.
