Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Pokemon Go lately, trying to optimize my battle teams, and I kept seeing Perrserker pop up in discussions. I was like, “Perrserker? Really? Isn’t that just a Galarian Meowth evolution?” But I decided to give it a shot and see for myself if it’s any good.
My Perrserker Experiment
First things first, I needed to get my hands on a good Perrserker. I already had a bunch of Galarian Meowth candy from past events, so that part was easy. I looked through my collection for a Meowth with high IVs – you know, the ones that are good for battling, not just for show. I found one that was pretty decent, maybe not perfect, but good enough to start with.
Next, I powered it up. Spent a good chunk of Stardust and candy, but hey, gotta invest if you want to see results, right? Then came the moves. I did some digging online, checking out what other players recommended, and settled on Metal Claw as the fast move and Close Combat as the main charged move. The Idea is use Foul Play as the secondary charged move. Seemed like a good combo for dealing damage quickly and hitting hard.
Taking Perrserker into Battle
- Raids: So, I threw Perrserker into some raids. Honestly? It did okay. Not amazing, not terrible. It could hold its own against some of the lower-tier raid bosses, but against the tougher ones, it got knocked out pretty fast.
- Trainer Battles: This is where Perrserker surprised me a bit. In the Great League (that’s the one with the 1500 CP cap), it actually did pretty well! That Close Combat move packs a punch, and Metal Claw charges it up fast. I won a few battles I didn’t expect to.
- Gym Battles: Against the usual gym defenders (you know, the Blisseys and Slakings), Perrserker was… alright. Again, not a superstar, but it could chip away at their health.
So, Is Perrserker Good?
Here’s the thing It all depends on the battle situation. It’s a bit of a glass cannon – it can deal good damage, but it can’t take much punishment. In the Great League, it can be a fun, off-meta pick that catches people off guard. For raids and gyms? There are definitely better options, but Perrserker isn’t completely useless.
My final verdict? Perrserker is fun, but not top-tier. If you like using unexpected Pokemon and surprising your opponents, give it a try. If you’re looking for the absolute best of the best, you might want to look elsewhere. But hey, that’s just my experience. Try it out yourself and see what you think!
