Grumpig Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Grumpig looks average on paper at 470 BST. But Thick Fat is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier on our tier list. Psychic with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Grumpig's biggest threats include Heracross (Bug), Misdreavus (Ghost), and Houndoom (Dark), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.
Grumpig is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Grumpig appears at level 60. Prerequisite: UNCOMMON. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
Grumpig gets Thick Fat, Own Tempo, and Gluttony. But Thick Fat is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Grumpig is a special attacker with base 90 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many.
