🔵 Great League - Without adequate stats and good moveset, Thwackey can't make it in PvP 😬
🟡 Ultra League - There's absolutely nothing to differentiate Thwackey from other Grass types in terms of viability
🟣 Master League - You can throw sticks at Legendaries and Pseudo-Legendaries, and expect to come out in one piece 🫣
