PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Rock Attacker:
Smack Down
Rock Slide - Fire Attacker:
Smack Down
Flame Charge
When Rolycoly evolves to Carkol, it gains the Fire typing, making this mid-stage evolution a Rock/Fire type. On the stats side, Carkol remains bad for PvE. It doesn't have a good ATK to make its damage output matter in Raids and the two double weaknesses to Water and Rock spells doom for Gym defense.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Smack Down
Rock Slide
Flame Charge
🔵 Great League
Carkol has a higher stat product than its evolution Coalossal in the Great League, sporting more bulk and nearly the same offensive strength. However, it doesn't have a good enough moveset with both Carkol and Coalossal losing Incinerate, and the latter ending up a little better.
As such, Carkol is rather underwhelming in this format, and you're better off using its evolution.
With a max CP of only 1710, Carkol isn't suitable for the Ultra and Master League.
