Reminder: Mega-Evolved Pokémon give other Pokémon special bonuses when brought to a Raid Battle.

Moveset
| Fast Moves | Charge Moves |
|---|---|
|
|
Mud Shot helps GFisk generate energy for its charged moves super fast and hence, while it does not deal too much damage, it is still dangerous for its energy gains.
Metal Claw hits harder but doesn’t make GFisk as unpredictable as it is with Mud Shot.
Earthquake is its strongest charged move, gains STAB and can KO your Fire counters except for Mega Charizard Y. However, be wary of…
Rock Slide seriously threatens both forms of Mega Charizard and can come quite often, particularly with Mud Shot.
Flash Cannon is a strong STAB move that can do quite a number.
Muddy Water is GFisk’s cheapest move and hits often but not hard.
Weather Effects
| Weather | Pro Attacker | Pro Garchomp |
| Sunny | LVL25 encounter, Boosts super effective Fire and Ground type attacks | Boosts Ground type moves |
| Partly Cloudy | – | Boosts Rock type moves |
| Cloudy | Boosts super effective Fighting type attacks | – |
| Rainy | Boosts super effective Water type attacks | Boosts Water type moves |
| Snow | LVL25 encounter | Boosts Steel type moves |
| Fog | – | – |
| Windy | – | Boosts Dragon type moves |
The only weather that will help you without potentially also boosting G.Stunfisk is Cloudy weather. However, your top counters have a variety of types. Try to raid in any weather apart from Partly Cloudy, Fog and Windy and you’ll have a boost of some sort! Good luck raiding trainers.
Conclusion
Galarian Stunfisk is one of the best Pokémon in both the GL and UL meta. It has already been a menace in GL and maxes out at level 50 under 2500 CP. In fact, a Best Buddy GFisk will round up to a CP below the 2500 CP mark for UL, making it an absolute beast in this format.
So if you are looking for a monstrous Pokémon that can get you many wins in the Great and/or Ultra League, look no further than GFisk! An amazing type combination, moveset and stats make it a must-have for your team!
BONUS: It can be shiny, with boosted odds!
Happy raiding!
