Recommended moves

• Great League:PeckBrave BirdFly

💥 The best PvP moveset for Rufflet is Wing Attack, Fly, and Brave Bird.

🧸 Little Cup

Rufflet is the embodiment of a Flying-type attacker with its amazing moves:

• Wing Attack to charge moves quickly
• Fly to deal high damage and break shields
• Brave Bird as a risky but powerful nuke 🪽🪽🪽

This is great, but it also restricts Rufflet to a singular role, making it useless against Pokémon that resist Flying (Electric, Rock, and Steel). 😬

🔵 Great League

Rufflet’s powerful moves help it soar over numerous Grass, Fighting, and Bug-types in the Great League, in addition to beating Corviknight, Wigglytuff, Gastrodon, Drifblim, and Shadow Drapion. 🙂

However, it struggles against anything outside the Flying-type range, so it needs team support to cover its weaknesses.

Rufflet doesn’t have the stats needed to compete in the Ultra League and Master League.
