Skrelp's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Skrelp PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids

Like the majority of base forms, Skrelp isn't going to perform well as a raid attacker. Its Poison and Water typing gives it a decent amount of resistances, but it shares that typing with the likes of Toxapex and Tentacruel, which are much better choices.

🛡️ Gyms

The same is true as a gym defender—there are stronger options with the same typing as Skrelp. While this Pokémon resists the most likely gym attackers (the Fighting types), it is weak to both Electric and Ground, which are also common choices when attacking gyms.

Skrelp PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little League

Due to its low defense, Skrelp lacks any real bulk to give it staying power in PVP. However, it can be quite useful for spamming charged attacks to remove shields. With the optimal moveset of Water Gun, Aqua Tail, and Sludge Bomb, you may be able to pick up wins against Pokémon like Cottonee and Wigglytuff once those shields are gone.

🔵 Great League

Maxing out at 1202 CP, Skrelp has no place in anything higher than Little League. You should absolutely switch to a Toxapex or Tentacruel for the same typing.

🟡 Ultra League

All the luck in the world wouldn't give Skrelp a fighting chance here.
