Kartana's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Kartana PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Kartana is arguably the most valuable Ultra Beast for PvE, sporting monstrous DPS figures that make it a genuinely terrifying Grass-type attacker. While Mega Sceptile leads the Grass-type meta with slightly higher DPS, you don't have to bother about Mega Evolution cooldowns or costs with this little Ultra Beast.

Due to its exceptional damage figures, Kartana also functions as a phenomenal generalist in Sunny in-game weather. That's not all, as it's also a great Fighting-type attacker post the Precious Paths move additions, where it received Fury Cutter and Sacred Sword. This Pokémon is definitely worth your Stardust, Candy XL, and even a Bottle Cap.

⚔️ Raids

Kartana fulfills a dual role in Pokémon GO, mainly as a Grass type attacker and even as a Fighting-type attacker if you unlock a second Charged Attack.

  • As a Grass type: Kartana is just behind Mega Sceptile in overall performance. More often than not, wielding Mega Sceptile and Kartana (plus a good number of Potions) are all you need to beat Raid Bosses weak to Grass-type moves. Due to the Steel subtyping, Kartana is often better than Mega Sceptile against Rock Raid Bosses.

  • As a Fighting type: Even though Kartana lacks STAB, its 323 ATQ results in the Fury Cutter + Sacred Sword combo dishing out more damage than even Mega Heracross, Terrakion, and Keldeo Ordinary!

No matter how you use Kartana, it is strongly recommended to dodge the Raid Boss' attacks, going by how fragile it is.

Kartana PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Kartana is built for Raids. It is a glass cannon with flimsy bulk, making it a poor choice for any PvP League.
