Poison and Steel moves hit Slurpuff for super-effective damage. The upside? Dragon-type moves can't touch it at all. With 82 HP and balanced defenses, Slurpuff can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Slurpuff Guide

  • For X & Y, we rate Slurpuff C-Tier: a niche pick in X & Y's meta. At 480 BST, the stats are spread pretty evenly. Bellydrum with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.

  • In X & Y, watch for Nidoking (Poison) and Metagross (Steel) when using Slurpuff. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Sweet Veil prevents friendly Pokémon from sleeping. That's the one you want on Slurpuff. Unburden is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.

  • Base 72 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Slurpuff is a physical attacker with base 80 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • In X & Y, run Bellydrum, Play Rough, Drain Punch, and Return on Slurpuff. Bellydrum is the most common pick at 24% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Slurpuff joined the series in X & Y and has been available in 6 titles so far. With 5 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
