      The following chart shows Binacle's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Binacle's movesets. You can change the weather and the opposing Pokémon to see how it affects the rankings.

      Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*). The table above provides information on different moves Binacle has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Binacle’s ATK is very low for Raids and its better bulk isn't high enough for placement in Gyms. Evolving it is the only way to go!

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🧸 Little Cup

      Unlike PvE, Binacle's stats are tailor made for PvP, with its CP permitting usage in the Little Cup. It excels in this role with its wide coverage, beating Skarmory, Swinub, Seel, Chinchou, Ducklett, Skorupi, Chansey and Wigglytuff.

      However, it still loses to the likes of Deino, Bronzor, Barboach, Wynaut, and Wooper, so you'll have to account for those matchups in your team. Overall, Binacle is amazing in this format.

      Binacle is too weak for any other PvP League.
