PvE 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 Analysis
Recommended moves
- Little League:
Mud-Slap
Ancient Power
Cross Chop
🧸 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.
