Buizel has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Bulk-leaning spread (67 Defense / 146 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.
