Meowscarada's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Meowscarada PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

With the addition of Frenzy Plant to its movepool, Meowscarada becomes the strongest Grass-type starter. However, it will eventually be surpassed by Rillaboom. 🍃

That said, Meowscarada will still be a worthy addition to your Grass-type team, so don’t hesitate to power it up!

⚔️ Raids

A superb Raid attacker thanks to its high ATK and powerful moveset. But keep in mind that Meowscarada is a glass cannon, meaning you’ll have to dodge to maximize its potential. ‼️

🛡️ Gyms

Meowscarada is very fragile, leaving it out of the Gym defense equation.

Meowscarada PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Let’s be clear about something: Grass types aren’t contenders in PvP unless they have bulk, a great sub-typing, or a solid moveset. Meowscarada fails in this regard. ☹️

Meowscarada is glassy, has an awkward PvP moveset, and is surpassed in its typing by other Grass/Dark types. A disappointing performance, to be honest. 🙁

🔵 Great League

With Meowscarada’s stats oriented towards offense, its already low bulk gets squeezed down to sad levels. It needs a better moveset to be considered worth running in this format.

🟡 Ultra League

There’s no sugarcoating it: Meowscarada is bad in PvP. 👎 While slightly better than its disastrous Great League run, the term “better” is setting very low standards here.

🟣 Master League

Zarude is the superior Grass/Dark type in the Master League, and Meowscarada is nowhere close to that. Leave Meowscarada to the PvE scene.
