Karrablast in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Bug Attacker:
Fury Cutter
X-Scissor
Karrablast is a pure Bug-type Pokémon with low ATK and HP, and even lower DEF, all of which aren't sufficient for the PvE meta. 👎
Bug-types, in general, aren't particularly spectacular in Raids and Gyms. The ones that do make the cut have good stats to their credit. Karrablast is not even close to that League of Pokémon. 🥲
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Fury Cutter
Drill Run
X-Scissor
🧸 Little Cup
Karrablast is a decent addition to the Little Cup meta, where it overpowers many opponents due to its 137 ATK, which is relatively higher than most Pokémon in this format. Wins against Wynaut, Bronzor, Greavard, Wooper, and Galarian Zigzagoon are impressive. 🙂 However, in other cases, it fails to live up to expectations due to its low DEF.
💎 Karrablast’s best moveset for the Little Cup is Fury Cutter, X-Scissor, and Drill Run.
It’s completely unviable for the Great, Ultra, and Master League.
