Cursola's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Cursola PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Cursola has the same DEF and HP as Galarian Corsola, but its ATK is in a class of its own at an impressive 253! 👀

Unfortunately, it’s terrible in PvE due to its moveset, with Astonish and Night Shade leaving it more dead than it already is. 😭

⚔️ Raids

It’s a sad case for Cursola. Despite learning Hex and Shadow Ball in the mainline games, it is cursed (no pun intended) with a pathetic PvE moveset in Pokémon GO. 🫤 There are plenty of better Ghost-type attackers, so stick to those! 🙂

🛡️ Gyms

With poor defenses, Cursola doesn’t even have decent viability as a Gym defender. 👎

Cursola PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Cursola shares the same DEF and HP as its pre-evolution, Galarian Corsola, but embarrassingly, it’s totally outclassed. 🤐

Until it receives a moveset upgrade, Cursola is destined to remain a Dex filler at best. 😶‍🌫️

🔵 Great League

While Galarian Corsola is a top-tier meta Pokémon, Cursola is entirely forgettable. The pre-evolution is so good, you’ll regret evolving it! 😅

🟡 Ultra League

With Pokémon like Giratina, Trevenant, Dusknoir, Drifblim, and Gengar excelling as Ghost-types, Cursola is irrelevant in this league. 🥲

🟣 Master League

With its dreadful bulk and lackluster moveset, Cursola is easily outclassed. The Legendaries and Dragons of the Master League exorcise it without effort. 🫠
