Verdict
Situational
Baxcalibur is a solid but not elite Ice-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#11) in raid performance. With a max CP of 4,013 and base stats of 254/168/229, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Ice-type counters. The best moveset is Ice Fang paired with Blizzard. Consider investing if you need a Ice-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
