Rillaboom PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Rillaboom is a powerful addition to Pokémon GO as this large Gorilla has the highest ATK of all Grass-type starters in the meta 💥
It's quite useful in the current meta, but it is slated to get deadlier with Frenzy Plant down the line 📈 Keep some high IV Grookey stocked up! 🌳

⚔️ Raids - Razor Leaf and Grass Knot make Rillaboom a good addition to your team of counters against Ground, Rock, and Water-type Raid Bosses 💯
🛡️ Gyms - Grass types have a slew of weaknesses, making them impressive Gym defenders in general
🔮 Dynamax Rillaboom is a formidable Grass-type Pokémon with a very strong Max Overgrow to annihilate Bosses in Max Battles 🍃

Rillaboom PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Rillaboom boasts the highest stat product of all starters in Pokémon GO but is held back by an underwhelming PvP moveset 😐

🔵 Great League - Downfall of the Planet of the Apes, like Rillaboom
🟡 Ultra League - Razor Leaf go brrr 🍃 Still a massive L though 📉
🟣 Master League - Grass types hardly fare well in the Master League, and this ape has nothing to go ‘boom’ anyway 😢
