Recommended moves

• Dark Attacker:Sucker PunchFoul Play
• Fairy Attacker:Sucker PunchPlay Rough

The Dark/Fairy-type Grimmsnarl has a decent ATK start similar to many starters in Pokémon GO but its good HP is sort of ruined by its low DEF stat. It's not recommended for usage in high stakes Raid Battles but you can certainly run it when rejoining the lobby (after your main squad has fainted) or against low tier Bosses, especially against Dragons with the Dark, Psychic, or Ghost subtyping.

 

⚔️ Raids - Grimmsnarl’s Dark-type DPS is on a level similar to regular Houndoom and Payback Absol. In the Fairy department, Grimmsnarl lacks a Fairy-type Fast Move, leaving it unviable for this role. However, if its signature Spirit Break is treated as a Fast Attack in a future update, it could find usage against Dragon Raid Bosses.

 

🛡️ Gyms - Grimmsnarl has a low DEF stat and is weak to Fairy, Poison, and Steel moves. While it's not a good Gym defender, it can hit Mega Metagross and Dusk Mane Necrozma hard with its Dark-type attacks.

🔵 Great League

The addition of Draining Kiss to Grimmsnarl’s moveset finally makes it threatening in the Great League, giving it a reliable tool to boost its DEF. This gives it victories over the formidable trio of Malamar, Snorlax, and Kingdra, while also impressing by taking down Shadow Forretress, Thievul, and Shadow Quagsire. In fact, even though it's mostly a close call, Grimmsnarl even takes down Feraligatr.

Most of its struggles come against bulky opponents like Dondozo, Diggersby, and Mantine, so be sure to add a teammate that utilizes a hard-hitting Fast Attack.

🟡 Ultra League

Grimmsnarl turns its fortunes in the Ultra League, establishing itself as a premier attacker to address the rise of Ghost, Dark, and Dragon types in this format, all thanks to its stats being best suited for this format. Giratina (Altered Forme) (stronger than ever with the buffed Shadow Force), Zygarde Complete Form, Guzzlord, Regidrago, Shadow Dusknoir, Drifblim, Skeledirge, Jellicent... all bow down to the might of Grimmsnarl. Additionally, it also manages to take down Feraligatr, Blastoise, Snorlax, Cresselia, Seismitoad, Kingdra, and Shadow Ninetales! Grimmsnarl is a legitimate threat in the Ultra League, breaking through strong teams and winning you many battles. A superb pick! 👏

🟣 Master League

Grimmsnarl can't handle the onslaught from the powerhouses present in the Master League. It can, however, bear Psychic types and Eternatus quite reliably.
