PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Steel Attacker:
Metal Claw
Iron Head
⚔️ Raids – With a max potential CP of 2697 and a DPS of 14.70, Perrserker is a decent raid attacker. As a pure Steel-type Pokémon typically running Metal Claw and Iron Head, Perrserker is strong against Rock, Ice, and Fairy-type Pokémon.
🔮 Dynamax – N/A
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Shadow Claw
Close Combat
Trailblaze - Ultra League:
Shadow Claw
Close Combat
Foul Play
🔵 Great League – Though not one of the best Pokémon for the Great League, Perrserker can work as a decent spice pick. Steel is an excellent defensive type. Not only that, Shadow Claw is a decent fast attack that can be boosted further with Trailblaze, or Perrserker can deal heavy damage with Close Combat. Unfortunately, Perrserker isn’t too bulky in the Great League, which holds it back a bit.
🟡 Ultra League – What’s said for the Great League largely works in the Ultra League as well. Except, Perrserker actually does even better in the Ultra League. Part of this is thanks to the fact that Perrserker has access to greater bulk in the Ultra League. And another part of this is that Perrserker has more targets it can win against in the Ultra League, including the likes of Giratina (Altered), Tentacruel, Shadow Drapion, and Cresselia.
🟣 Master League – Perrserker is a bit too weak to work well in the Master League where legendary Pokémon with max stat totals of 8000-10000s dominate.
