GBL Note Analysis

Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings

Limited field sample — not seen enough in the last 30 days of GBL Note data, so the analysis below is based on simulation and type matchups.

✔ Strengths & how to use

• Its Lead · Switch role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions.
• Its STAB Dark · Psychic hits Psychic · Ghost · Fighting · Poison super-effectively, landing real damage when the matchup lines up.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is doubly weak to Bug · is weak to Fairy, so watch out for those attackers.
• That said, it's unfavored into threats like Florges, so avoid that head-to-head.
