Karrablast's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Karrablast PvE Analysis

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. 🥲

Karrablast PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 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.
