Grumpig




PvE Analysis
Grumpig is a dex filler from the Gen 3 Hoenn region. The lack of stats and suboptimal movesets puts Grumpig significantly behind current Psychic-type meta Pokemon, and it's not exactly impressive for gym defense either.
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
Psywave + Psychic | Best |
---|
- Psywave is slightly stronger than Extrasensory, and both are superior to Charge Beam.
- Psychic outperforms Mirror Coat on offense by a considerable amount.
- Shadow Ball and Dynamic Punch lack STAB and are better for other Pokemon.
Best PvE Defensive Moveset
Extrasensory + Shadow Ball or Dynamic Punch | Best |
---|
- Extrasensory hits harder on defense, but is walled by Dark-type attackers.
- Charge Beam is inferior stat-wise, but is less likely to be resisted.
- Shadow Ball is easy to dodge, but provides coverage against the weakness to Ghost-type attackers.
- Dynamic Punch is strong and provides counter-coverage against Dark Types.
- Psychic is better than Mirror Coat in every way, and is also the hardest to dodge.
PvP Analysis
Psywave + Shadow Ball and Dynamic Punch | Best |
---|
Psywave is a much better move than either Extrasensory or Charge Beam, easily making it the best option
Shadow Ball and Dynamic Punch combine to provide impeccable coverage at a moderate cost. Psychic and Mirror Coat are underwhelming
Great League | 4.5 / 5 |
---|---|
Grumpig is a mono-Psychic type with moderate bulk and a strong moveset. Thanks to the addition of Psywave and Dynamic Punch in the Might and Mastery Season, Grumpig has immediately gone from Zero to Hero is a highly defining threat in the Great League. It can dent just about everything thanks to its wide coverage, though Dark-type Pokemon who aren't weak to Dynamic Punch such as Sableye and Mandibuzz are problematic for it. | |
Ultra League | 4.5 / 5 |
Like in the Great League, Grumpig is a defining force in the Ultra League thanks to its good overall stats and wide coverage. Though it doesn't have Cresselia's massive bulk, Grumpig's ability to threaten Steel- and Ghost-type Pokemon more effectively more than makes up for it. | |
Master League | 0 / 5 |
Grumpig would look like ham or bacon to the Pokemon that compete in this league. |
