In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 510, Grimmsnarl plays as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Its standout stat is Attack at 120, while Speed (60) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Dark, Fairy combination gives Grimmsnarl 2 resistances, 2 immunities, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Grimmsnarl a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
