Silicobra's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Silicobra PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Silicobra is a pure Ground-type Pokémon and the pre-evolution of Sandaconda. As with most non-fully evolved Pokémon, Silicobra has pretty low stats overall to really be a solid raid attacker, and you’re better off using many of the other, better, fully-evolved Ground-type Pokémon.

Silicobra PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little Cup

Silicobra has a maximum potential CP of 1222. With exceptional stats, some Pokémon can be quite viable in the 🔵 Great League, however our little silly snek doesn't have those, so it's only really worth using in the 🧸 Little Cup. However, even in the 🧸 Little Cup it is by no means an exceptional Pokémon as it loses to a lot of the common meta Pokémon in the league. As a Ground with solid damage though, it can also deal with some heavy hitters such as Bronzor and even Chinchou in metas where it's a threat.
