PvE Analysis

Barraskewda PvE Analysis

Close

Recommended moves

• Water Attacker:WaterfallAqua Jet

Barraskewda rocks a superb ATK stat of 258, which is quite high in comparison to most non-Legendary Water types, well ahead of even Kingler. Unfortunately for Barraskewda, its potential in the ⚔️ Raids meta at the time of its debut is completely ruined since it only begs access to the poor Aqua Jet, even though it can learn powerful moves like Hydro Pump and Surf in the Main Series Games.

Until and unless it learns any of those moves in Pokémon GO, Barraskewda is only a fancy Pokédex addition, and is also bad for 🛡️ Gym defense due to its underwhelming bulk stats.

• Ultra League:PeckAqua JetClose Combat

🔵 Great League

Even though Barraskewda packs a strong moveset, its stats lean towards offense while having its DEF as its lowest figure. This makes Barraskewda terribly glassy for the Great League, given the format’s CP restrictions. Moreover, Water is among the best types for the Great League, so you have plenty of other Water-type options to add into your GO Battle League teams.

🟡 Ultra League

In the Ultra League, Barraskewda is more of a spicy pick, grabbing a few wins but still being quite unreliable due to its fragility. Most of its wins come due to Close Combat being used after the opponent is out of shields, since getting rid of the one shield before using Close Combat is no real challenge given how quick the Peck + Aqua Jet combo is. If only it was bulkier, Barraskewda would have aced the Ultra League but unfortunately, it goes down before it can get to hitting the winning move against many of its opponents. In fact, this issue is so serious that Barraskewda loses to 2/3rd of the Ultra League meta.

🟣 Master League

Barraskewda is just not strong enough to grapple with the monsters of the Master League.
