PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Confusion and Psychic belong together, giving Girafarig its only moveset with a shadow of viability.
  • Thunderbolt is a good move, but it has no utility here.
  • Tackle, Double Kick, Trailblaze, and Mirror Coat are objectively bad choices.
  • Psychic Fangs is meant for PvP. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Confusion is the best choice on defense.
  • Double Kick is worse than Confusion, but Fighting coverage can definitely be valuable for counter-coverage on defense.
  • Thunderbolt provides off-type coverage.
  • Trailblaze has solid power and usability, making it a great defensive option.
  • Psychic is an okay choice as it allows Girafarig to counter Machamp harder, but leaves it helpless against Tyranitar and Metagross.
  • Tackle and Mirror Coat have no use at all.
  • Psychic Fangs can be spammed on defense as a 3-bar move, but its damage output is pitiful. 

PVE Overview

What can we say? Girafarig isn't even the most generally popular palindrome Pokemon out there. It has nothing to call its own.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Confusion or Double Kick + Thunderbolt and Psychic Fangs or Trailblaze

Confusion is superior to Tackle in both damage output and energy generation. Double Kick offers more energy generation, but lacks STAB and synergy with Girafarig's other moves. 

Psychic Fangs is recommended for its low energy cost, helping to bait shields while also applying a debuff to ramp up Confusion damage. Thunderbolt is Girafarig's best secondary move option, providing alternative coverage. Psychic is Girafarig's strongest Charge Move, but its energy cost is discouraging. Trailblaze offers a way to boost Girafarig's Attack, meaning it will be occasionally very useful.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 2 / 5 

Girafarig does poorly in PvP, despite having a very interesting typing. An offensive stat distribution results in low durability, while Girafarig's slow move pool leaves a lot to be desired. The addition of Psychic Fangs following the September 2022 update gives Girafarig a smoother gameplay, letting it bait shields potentially while also applying a debuff to ramp up the damage from Confusion. However Girafarig is still fragile and vulnerable to Dark-type Pokemon, and is generally still walled by common Steel Pokemon as well. Overall a very interesting consideration, but this Giraffe won't be standing very tall in battle. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5

If Girafarig couldn't compete in Great League, it definitely won't do well in Ultra League. A max CP of 2046 doesn't help either. 

Master League: 0 / 5

Girafarig might be 1.5m tall, but it's not 4.5m Kyogre tall, or 5.4m Dialga tall, or 6.9m Giratina-O tall.
