• Dark Attacker:Snarl Night Slash

⚔️ Raids

Thievul is just a Dex filler in Pokémon GO because of its low stats and poor PvE moveset. 😶 Not only is Thievul severely outclassed by many of its fellow Dark-type Pokémon, but also Ghost-types, since both have kind of the same role: Beating Psychic-type Raid Bosses. Sadly, Thievul is lost in oblivion in this role… and anything else, honestly. 😐

• Sucker Punch, Snarl and Quick Attack: Thievul’s Fast Attacks. While these are a good set of Fast Attacks to have, it is the stats and Charged Attacks that are more relevant in PvE, and Thievul falls way short of any meaningful expectations in that department.
• Night Slash, Play Rough, and Icy Wind: Thievul’s Charged Attacks. With an attack stat of just 172, Thievul can’t really do much damage with its Charged Attacks. Icy Wind is Thievul’s Community Day exclusive move. As it is an Ice-type attack, it doesn’t help Thievul in raids.

🛡️ Gyms

With average bulk and a weakness to the typical Fighting-type Gym attackers, Thievul isn't the Gym defender you're looking for.

🔵 Great League

Thievul was already a decent pick in Great League but thanks to its community day move: Icy Wind, it is now even better. It has a positive win-loss record across all shield scenarios, with its best coming in 2v2 shields, because of those Icy Wind debuffs. Some of its wins include Mantine, Clodsire, Altaria, and Furret.

🟡 Ultra League

With a max CP of just 2415, Thievul struggles in Ultra League. However, it still puts up a strong showing in the 2v2 shields scenario, picking up wins like Jellicent, Corviknight, and Feraligatr. It is in the Great League where Thievul shines best.

🟣 Master League

No. Just use Yveltal, folks!
