Frillish PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little Cup

Frillish has decent stats, but its moveset is not threatening enough to beat most opponents. To put it into perspective, Frillish is unable to take down Seel, Deino, Bronzor, Gligar, and Ducklett. 🫤

The only way Frillish gets scary is through the 1.25x ATK boost from Ominous Wind, but that only has a meagre 10% chance 🙁. Also, since this move only deals 45 DMG, many opponents tank it worry-free.

Frillish is not strong enough for the Great, Ultra, and Master League.
