Heliolisk's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Heliolisk PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Heliolisk has a low ATK and even lower bulk, making it an underwhelming Electric-type Pokémon. To be fair, it falls behind even the decent Electric-type options in the game, so it's just a Pokédex filler at best.

⚔️ Raids

Its damage output is even lower than Kilowattrel and Alolan Raichu. Don't try running it in Raid battles.

🛡️ Gyms

Heliolisk is frail and also weak to the commonly used Fighting types, making it extremely poor for the Gym meta.

Heliolisk PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Due to a relatively high ATQ compared to DEF and PS, the Great League’s PC limitations impose a lower bulk. This makes Heliolisk pretty average in battle, grabbing wins only against the League's main Water types but also being inconsistent against Flying types, losing to Fearow, Togekiss, and Corviknight. This isn't a reliable PvP Pokémon by any means.

🟡 Ultra League

With more room to breathe in the Ultra League, Heliolisk is decent in this format. It still beats all leading Water types of the League (except Greninja), and also dominates Flying types like Corviknight and Togekiss (whom it can't beat in the Great League). Some other wins include Forretress and Shadow Drapion, but other than these, it ends up losing most of its matchups due to its low bulk.

🟣 Master League

Heliolisk is easy prey in the Master League.
