Vullaby's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Vullaby PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

  • Dark Attacker:DarkFeint AttackDarkFoul Play
  • Flying Attacker:FlyingAir SlashFlyingBrave Bird

⚔️ Raids

Though its name and appearance may have you thinking this is a baby Pokémon, Vullaby is simply a base form and, as such, doesn’t have much worth noting about it for attacking raids.

As a Dark/Flying-type, it is outclassed in both categories by its own evolution Mandibuzz, as well as other strong options like Honchkrow and Yveltal.

🛡️ Gyms

Taking neutral damage from Fighting-types, one of the most common attacking types in gyms, does work in Vullaby’s favor—especially since it can hit those same Fighting-types for super effective Flying damage.

However, type matchups aren’t everything, and Vullaby is unlikely to last long as a gym defender, especially in gyms that frequently change teams.

Vullaby PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

  • Great League:DarkFeint AttackFlyingBrave BirdDarkFoul Play

🧸 Little League

Keeping with discussions on type matchups, Vullaby is at a huge disadvantage in the Little League thanks to the monster that is Shuckle.

Having its entire moveset resisted by the meta leader, while also being hit back with neutral Bug damage and super effective Rock attacks, it’s no surprise that Vullaby is ranked so low in this league.

Still, if you were to use one, be sure to give it the best fighting chance with the moveset Air Slash, Brave Bird, and Foul Play.

🔵 Great League

The Diapered Pokémon couldn’t scavenge enough CP to make it viable for the Great League, capping out at 1437 CP.

🟡 Ultra League

Vullaby is not an option at this level.

🟣 Master League

That diaper may come in handy against the numerous Legendaries that roam this league.
