PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Grass Attacker:
Bullet Seed
Seed Bomb - Dragon Attacker:
Dragon Breath
Outrage
Flapple has a decent ATK stat of 214 but low bulk. But even if its stats were higher, Flapple’s moves just aren't inclined toward PvE. 👎
However, Flapple’s signature move Grav Apple can elevate its position in the Grass-type meta provided its stats are tuned well. 🍎
Until such an event happens, this airborne apple dragon is just a Pokédex filler in the PvE scene.
⚔️ Raids
Flapple’s underwhelming stats and moveset leave it unable to compete with the many powerful Grass and Dragon type Pokémon in the meta. ❌
🛡️ Gyms
The Grass and Dragon combo is rather unforgiving on a defensive standpoint. There is a double weakness to Ice as well as weaknesses to Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, and Poison. Add the fact that Flapple is fragile, and that crosses out this Pokémon’s name from the list of viable Gym defenders. 📉
🔮 Dynamax Pokémon
GMax and DMax forms of Flapple are yet to debut in Pokémon GO. Expect the Gigantamax form to become a viable Grass-type attacker with GMax Tartness.
💎 Flapple's best moveset for PvE is:
Bullet Seed and Seed Bomb (Grass)
Dragon Breath and Outrage (Dragon)
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Dragon Breath
Seed Bomb
Dragon Pulse - Ultra League:
Dragon Breath
Fly
Seed Bomb
🔵 Great League
Flapple performs poorly in the Great League due to being extremely flimsy in bulk and its numerous weaknesses. Its moveset isn't exactly stellar, and it can't even beat the types it’s supposed to counter, losing to many Water and Ground Pokémon. 😶
🟡 Ultra League
You'd expect Flapple to have more room to spread its wings in the Ultra League, but the same problems ruin its chances. Aside from low bulk, the Pokémon types it’s weak to are even more prominent here. 🫢
🟣 Master League
Flapple, to put it gently, gets chewed alive by the Dragons of the Master League. 🫣
💎 Flapple's best moveset for PvP is: Bullet Seed, Fly, and Seed Bomb.
