Nymble in the meta
PvE Analysis
Nymble is literally a little bug with a lot of spirit, but nimble-minded trainers shouldn't use little Nymble in PvE bouts. 🦗
Wait, is this a tongue twister? 😜 Nonetheless, Nymble is not built for the PvE meta due to its extremely low stats.
⚔️ Raids & 🛡️ Gyms
N/A
PvP Analysis
💎 Nymble's best moveset for PvP is Bug Bite, X-Scissor, and Trailblaze.
🧸 Little Cup
Bug-type coverage is never really valuable, but Nymble also packs the handy Grass-type Charged Move Trailblaze, which increases its ATK stat on each use. 📈
This helps it beat bigshots like Deino, Vullaby, Shadow Rhyhorn, Shadow Cubone, and Wynaut. Outside these wins, Nymble’s poor stats play spoilsport and limit its viability. 😕
Nymble is too weak for the Great, Ultra, and Master League.
