⚔️ Raids

Mabosstiff, other than being a Pokémon whose name is rather difficult to spell right, is also a Dark-type Pokémon and the evolved form of Maschiff. While Mabosstiff isn’t exceptionally bad, it’s not that impressive as a raid attacker either. So there just are a lot of other Pokémon that can do its job better. For example, both Absol and Honchkrow in their base forms outperform Mabosstiff in terms of sheer damage.

🔵 Great League

Pure Dark-type Pokémon already don't have much of a place in the current Great League meta. And in the case of Mabosstiff it also doesn't have particularly good stats to run in the Great League either.

🟡 Ultra League

Much the same applies for the Ultra League. Mabosstiff just has a very awkward balanced stat spread that makes it unable to play any role particularly well and its moveset is pretty limited as well. As such there's only less than a handful of meta Pokémon Mabosstiff can even hope to stand up against.

🟣 Master League

If its Great and Ultra League performances were any indication than it should not at all come as a surprise that Mabosstiff has no place in the Master League, which is dominated by the strongest Pokémon in the entire game.
