Arctibax's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Arctibax PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Its stats don't add up for PvE relevance, but it looks really cool!

⚔️ Raids

The Dragon and Ice meta are both filled with tons of options, and Arctibax doesn't make the cut, unfortunately. 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♂️

🛡️ Gyms

It isn't too bulky to begin with. More importantly, the Dragon/Ice typing isn't good defensively, as it gives Arctibax five weaknesses! Avoid placing it in Gyms.

Arctibax PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Arctibax is one of the meta-defining Pokémon in the Great League, slaying opponents with Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw, with Avalanche as a bonus. 🐉

Its solid moveset allows it to counter top picks like Serperior, Talonflame, Charjabug, Drifblim, and Feraligatr! 😲 A true surprise package! 🤩

🟡 Ultra League

The rise of Steel, Fighting, and other Dragon types in the Ultra League is too overwhelming for Arctibax, so it's just not able to hold its own. 😣

🟣 Master League

Arctibax gets eaten alive by bigger and stronger dragons in the Master League. 💀
