Accelgor PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Accelgor is an okay Bug-type raid attacker. It shouldn’t be your first pick, but it can be a backline option if you lack other, stronger Bug-types. As a Bug-type raid attacker, Accelgor prefers the move combination of Infestation and Bug Buzz and is strong against Grass, Psychic, and Dark-type Pokémon.

Accelgor PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Accelgor does have access to multiple fast attacks that generate energy quickly. However, it lacks any spammy charge attacks that could synergize well with them. Not only that, Accelgor is very frail, with an overall stat total of around 1500, making it an unideal fit for the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League

Accelgor is just as frail and unreliable in the Ultra League, with the added problem of being an XL Pokémon, meaning it costs a lot to build one up for this league. This is not a worthwhile investment.

🟣 Master League

With a max CP of 2760, Accelgor is too weak for the Master League.
