Strategy Overview

Granbull is a victim of circumstance; that circumstance being the existence of Ursaring. Ursaring outclasses Granbull in almost every way, sporting higher Attack and Speed stats, access to both Guts and Quick Feet, and to top it all off, a very useful boosting move in Swords Dance. While this in no way makes Granbull a bad Pokemon, it does make it so Granbull will almost never see the light of competitive play. However, it should be made clear that Granbull is every bit as threatening as Ursaring, thanks to its monster Attack, STAB Facade, and great movepool. If you're planning on using Granbull, be sure to make use of its perks over Ursaring, namely its access to Intimidate, Heal Bell, and Thunder Wave. Or, simply use Granbull because it's adorable. Seriously, who couldn't love a face like that?
