Is Castform any good?

Castform’s Normal and Sunny versions don’t have much in the way of relevancy in the Pokemon Go meta. However, the Rainy and Snowy versions aren’t terrible options for the Great League.

While neither ranked in PvPoke‘s Great League meta ranking as of December 2023, the Rainy and Snowy versions of Castform did rank in the top #160. There are stronger options, but those who want to go with a non-meta option might want to consider those two forms.
