| Ultra League | A | #35 / 844 | 89.4 | Psycho Cut · Grass Knot · Moonblast As one of the longest running mascots of Ultra League, Cresselia could see some resurgence but has thus far failed to find a foothold in the metagame. Top picks like Corviknight pose major resistance, while its Psychic typing generally hurts it in a format that favors Dark and Ghost types. Still, its stats alone keep it competitive if overshadowed by power creep over the years. | L36.5 · 4/11/11 |
