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. 😅
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Thunder Shock
Acrobatics
Discharge
💥 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.
