Wimpod's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Wimpod PvE Analysis

Bug types generally aren't a big deal in PvE, and poor little Wimpod has terrible stats (none of them cross 100) that are meant to keep it far, far away from raids and gyms. 😅

Wimpod PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little Cup

Wimpod is weak in the Little Cup, its low stats doing it zero favors. But fun fact, Wimpod beats Deino, Wynaut, and Seel, three of the best Little Cup Pokémon. Sadly, those few wins don't cement Wimpod as a usable part of this meta. 🥲

💥 The best moves for Wimpod in the Little Cup are Struggle Bug and Bug Buzz.

Wimpod’s highest CP is just 567, so any other PvP platform is out of bounds.
