Carnivine Guide

  • In Winds & Waves, Carnivine looks average on paper at 454 BST. But Levitate is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. D-Tier attacker on our tier list. Leech Seed with Bindingband is the standard set.

  • In Winds & Waves, watch for Infernape (Fire), Lapras (Ice), and Nidoking (Poison) when using Carnivine. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Flying and Bug-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Carnivine gets Levitate. But Levitate is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.

  • Carnivine is a mixed attacker with base 100 Attack and 90 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 46 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the attacker role.

  • In Winds & Waves, run Leech Seed, Synthesis, Infestation, and Stockpile on Carnivine. Leech Seed is the most common pick at 19% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Debuting in Diamond & Pearl, Carnivine appears in 12 games across 7 generations. A reliable presence in a solid number of games, typically found through wild encounters.
