      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Elgyem is a pure Psychic-type Pokémon with a max CP of 1566. It is not useful for PvE, even with its best moveset of Confusion and Psychic.

      ⚔️ Raids

      Too small and weak.

      🛡️ Gyms

      There are much better options available.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Elgyem’s best moveset for PvP is Confusion, Dark Pulse, and Psychic. However, it is sadly not a particularly useful PvP Pokémon.

      🧸 Little Cup

      While Elgyem fits in Little Cup, it suffers losses against all the big hitters, including Bronzor, Deino, and Gligar. Its lack of bulk makes it highly vulnerable.

      🔵 Great League

      Technically, Elgyem fits in Great League with significant XL Candy investment. However, it barely breaks into the top 1000 Pokémon rankings, so it’s not recommended.

      🟡 Ultra League

      Elgyem will be swiftly defeated in Ultra League.

      🟣 Master League

      Elgyem will immediately return to the Mother Ship and flee the Earth if used in Master League.
