      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Thievul is just a Dex filler in Pokémon GO because of its low stats and poor PvE moveset. 😶

      ⚔️ Raids

      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. 😐

      🛡️ Gyms

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

      💎 Thievul’s best moveset for PvE is Snarl and Night Slash.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      Thievul bags a handful of wins with its speedy moveset, mostly against Ghost, Water, and Dark Pokémon. Other than these targets, it hardly beats anything else. So, use stronger Dark types like Guzzlord, Sableye, Mandibuzz, or Malamar. 🌑

      🟡 Ultra League

      Thievul maxes out at CP 2415, making it an underwhelming pick for the Ultra League. Again, Pokémon like Guzzlord and Mandibuzz exist in this format, which are not only excellent Dark types but also amazing Ultra League additions in general. 👍

      🟣 Master League

      No. Just use Yveltal, folks!

      💎 Thievul’s Best Moveset for PvP

      The best moveset for Thievul in PvP is Quick Attack, Night Slash, and Play Rough.
