Elgyem in the meta
PvE 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 Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Confusion
Dark Pulse
Psychic
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.
