Espathra's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Espathra PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Espathra debuts in one of the major heavily contested Pokémon types, Psychic. With an ATK of only 204, it simply doesn't leave much of an impact although it gets a good moveset. Its damage output is way below even Espeon, an accessible Psychic type, making Espathra a forgettable Pokémon for Raids.

While Espathra has a decent HP, it is let down with a dismal DEF stat, making it easy victim to Gym attackers. It can still throw a nasty surprise at Dark-type Pokémon if it packs Dazzling Gleam, but at the end of the day, Espathra is pretty underwhelming in the PvE scene.

Espathra PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Dark and Steel types are a common sight in most Great League teams. This instantly reduces Espathra’s chances to perform in this format, as this Pokémon is more or less toothless against them. Even with Dazzling Gleam, Espathra's low bulk ensures that it goes down regardless, losing to Galarian Moltres, Sableye, and Malamar even in the (0-0) shield scenario.

A few expected wins against Poison and Fighting types, and Fairy types, Swampert, and Gourgeist Super is all that Espathra has going for itself. Definitely not enough to give it a spot in your team.

🟡 Ultra League

Espathra has a really hard time in the Ultra League, where it's completely unable to keep up with the increasing power level of its opponents. Dark, Bug, and Steel are increasingly prominent out here, making matters worse for poor Espathra.

Its few wins such as Togekiss, Tentacruel, Cobalion, Virizion, and Cradily hardly make any difference when it mostly gets decimated by a majority of the meta.

It's also worth mentioning that Espathra requires heavy XL Candy investment to function in the Ultra League. Going by how poorly it fares, it just isn't worth the time and effort.

🟣 Master League

Espathra gets roasted in the Master League, not managing even a single win in any shield situation.
