      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      💥 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.
