Ferroseed PvE Analysis

82 ATK. Enough said! 🙇

⚔️ Raids – Grass and Steel aren’t top attacking types unless the Pokémon has high stats. Ferrothorn doesn’t cut it, my friend! 😕

🛡️ Gyms – Light a match and this Pokémon is out! 🔥

Ferroseed PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

It’s full of thorns, but they don’t hurt 😂

🧸 Little Cup – It’s… usable. Cottonee, Shadow Dratini, Shelmet… they go down to Ferrothorn. Moreover, it’s kind of bulky ✅.

🔵 Great League – Throw it away. Far away 😅.

🟡 Ultra League – Leave it alone, lol.

🟣 Master League – Why tick off Dragons by trying to poke a thorn? 😆.
