      Recommended moves

      Larvesta is an undeniably great-looking Pokémon and enjoys cult status among fans. It is also one of the rarest finds in Pokémon GO, so it is highly sought after by the game’s trainers.

      While all this makes for a great addition to your collection, this Bug/Fire-type is lacking in PvE battles due to low stats. 🫠

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      Larvesta has good stats across all areas, but doesn’t have a strong enough moveset to make a difference. 🥲

      It secures a few wins, but overall, it is quite limited. Alolan Marowak and Talonflame are better Fire-types, while Charjabug and Ariados are better Bug-types.

      With a maximum CP of only 1692, Larvesta doesn’t find any use in the other GO Battle League formats.

      💥 The best PvP moveset for Larvesta is Ember, Flame Charge, and Bug Buzz.
