Recommended moves

  • Dark Attacker:DarkSnarlDarkCrunch

⚔️ Raids

The Dark dog Maschiff is the pre-evolution of Mabosstiff with a max CP of 1582. Needless to say, it's not strong enough to be a raid attacker compared to most fully evolved Pokémon.

Maschiff PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

  • Great League:DarkBiteDarkCrunchPsychicPsychic Fangs

🧸 Little Cup

Maschiff, while not having overwhelmingly high stats for the Little Cup, still has a lot going for it. As with most Dark-types that can dish out solid damage, Maschiff can be a fantastic surprise pick that can take out the double dominating threat of Bronzor and Wynaut. Unlike some of the other common Dark spice-picks such as Purrloin, Maschiff can take out some other meta Pokémon as well such as Wooper, Seel, Swinub, and Dratini. Most of them don't really require you to heavily rely on baiting either as you can go for straight Crunches or Digs while powering up your energy with Snarl. Though it does lose to other common meta threats such as Ducklett, Deino, and Cottonee, and as such, a lot of Maschiff's success will depend on how well you can position it.

🔵 Great League

While its max CP of 1582 makes Maschiff viable for the Great League, that doesn't make it good for the Great League. An awkward stat spread and limited move pool makes Maschiff unable to defeat almost the entire Great League meta.

🟡 Ultra League

With a max CP of 1582, Maschiff is too weak for the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

With a max CP of 1582, Maschiff is far too weak for the Master League.
