🔵 Great League

Poison and Dark is a solid type combination for PvE (especially Dark), and Alolan Grimer gives a solid performance, beating the likes of Wigglytuff, Azumarill, Feraligatr, Togekiss, and Gourgeist (Super). But what really stops Alolan Grimer from being used in the Great League is that its own evolution, Alolan Muk, is among the best contenders in this format. So just evolve Alolan Grimer! 📈

A max CP of 1553 prevents Alolan Grimer from breaking into the higher PvP Leagues.
