Pokemon GO Weepinbell: Best moveset, counters, and is it any good?

After getting a Weepinbell in Pokemon GO, you may wonder about its best moveset, counters, and utility, besides learning how to use it appropriately. The Flycatcher Pokemon is a dual Grass and Poison-type critter, like Ivysaur, with multiple Fast and Charged Moves. Don't expect crazy battle results from it since its max CP is just 1822. However, though the CP cap is fit for the Ultra League challenge, can it go against strong meta threats?

In this article, we examine the best set of attacks, counters, and performance of Weepinbell in Pokemon GO PvE and PvE battle formats.

Is Weepinbell good in Pokemon GO?

Weepinbell is not a good pick in Niantic’s mobile game. It is weak to Flying, Fire, Ice, and Psychic-type attacks but resists Grass, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type moves.

In PvE play, the best Weepinbell moveset can deal 12.66 Damage Per Second (DPS). By the time it faints, it can land 167.32 Total Damage Output (TDO) that can be boosted by activating the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) effect. However, this doesn’t change its performance dramatically.

As for the Pokemon GO Battle League, Weepinbell is unsuitable to team up with your units. It will be utterly destroyed in the Ultra League, considering it ranks #508 in PvPoke’s Great League rankings. It would be best to evolve Weepinbell into Victreebel and then charge with your full force.
