Without it, Blizzard causes Politoed to receive more losses against fellow Water-types, which reduces its overall rating, but does pick up a win against Giratina Origin Forme.

Politoed does well in Ultra League partly due to the numerous Steel-type competitors that are quite common, though it requires Earthquake to take down Registeel. Against the rest of the meta, Politoed is a decent pick overall with its ability to spam Weather Ball consistently, but may struggle in neutral fights. Unfortunately for Politoed, Blizzard isn't a terrific option against Grass-types due to its high energy cost, and Politoed gets KO'd quite fast against Razor Leaf users. Politoed is an interesting Pokemon for Great League, with well-rounded stats that feature good bulk, and charge moves that can cover either of its weaknesses to Electric or Grass. Return comes out fast and furious, but doesn't have very high damage. Earthquake can surprise Electric-type attackers, until they dodge it.Hydro Pump is the least reactable of Politoed’s charge moves, but takes a long time to access. Weather Ball Water is better than Surf due to its easier accessibility as a 3-bar move.īlizzard has coverage against Grass-type attackers and Dragonite, common attackers into Politoed. Earthquake can pair with Mud Shot for a budget Ground-type attacker role, but maybe use other Pokemon instead?īubble is the better defensive fast move for its stronger DPS.Surf and Hydro Pump are step down, but still decent if TMs are lacking.īlizzard is a fine move, but it has no synergy with Politoed’s fast moves. Weather Ball Water is best charge move due to its consistency as 3-bar move. Bubble is superior to Mud Shot for Politoed’s role as a Fire, Rock, and Ground-type slayer.
