Sprigatito Best Moveset

Grass at 61 Attack and 65 Speed with AbilityProtean changing type to match the move used. The type-shifting is elite but pre-evolution stats can't capitalize. Evolve through to Meowscarada for 110 Attack at 123 Speed and Protean at A-Tier.

★Gen IX — Scarlet & Violet / Legends Z-AE

Sprigatito saw minimal competitive use in Gen IX (Scarlet & Violet / Legends Z-A). This was Sprigatito's competitive peak. Its most popular set ran Protean with Expert Belt, favoring a Jolly nature.
