Jellicent's impressive 92.4 score secures its #5 Great League ranking, largely due to its potent Water/Ghost typing providing excellent coverage and defensive utility. While no significant move changes have directly impacted Jellicent this season, its Hex, Surf, and Shadow Ball moveset allows it to decisively beat threats like Empoleon, Tinkaton, and Togekiss.

Tinkaton ranks a formidable #6 in Great League with a 92.4 score, largely due to its Steel/Fairy typing complemented by an impactful buff to Fairy Wind in the current season. This potent combination allows it to decisively beat major threats like Altaria, Wigglytuff, Togekiss, and even its suggested teammate, Galarian Corsola, alongside Lickilicky. However, Tinkaton struggles against common Water and Ground types such as Quagsire, Jellicent, and Empoleon, making strategic pairing with Pokemon like Quagsire, Lickilicky, or Galarian Corsola crucial to cover these significant vulnerabilities.

Galarian Corsola secures its #7 Great League ranking with an impressive 92.2 score, leveraging its Ghost typing and efficient Astonish/Night Shade/Power Gem moveset to decisively beat meta threats like Altaria and Jellicent. Despite this strength, it struggles against common counters such as Guzzlord, Lickilicky, Wigglytuff, Tinkaton, and Corviknight due to unfavorable type matchups. The recent World of Wonders season buff to Night Shade, increasing its damage output, further elevates its offensive potential, making Empoleon or Quagsire (including its Shadow variant) excellent partners to cover its weaknesses.

This potent combination allows it to convincingly defeat prominent meta picks like Tinkaton, Empoleon, and Jellicent, offering crucial defensive and offensive pressure.

However, its strong offensive pressure is contained by bulky counters such as Lickilicky, Wigglytuff, and Jellicent, alongside specific threats like Tinkaton.

Its effective moveset, featuring Hydro Cannon and Drill Peck, enables it to consistently defeat key threats like Wigglytuff, Tinkaton, and Altaria.

Its Bug/Steel typing allows it to decisively beat Wigglytuff, Tinkaton, Empoleon, Feraligatr, and Jellicent, but it faces significant challenges against Altaria, Galarian Corsola, Annihilape, Quagsire, and Lickilicky. Despite these vulnerabilities, its unique charge move distribution ensures it carves out a vital niche in the current meta, offering valuable utility without relying on specific move buffs in the current season.

However, its performance is checked by hard counters like Jellicent, Shadow Forretress, and Tinkaton, demanding careful engagement.

Wigglytuff earns its #15 ranking in the Great League with a formidable score of 91.6, primarily thanks to its potent moveset of Charm, Icy Wind, and Swift, which capitalizes on Charm's significant Fairy-type damage output. This allows it to convincingly defeat key threats such as Corsola (Galarian), Feraligatr, and Jellicent, though it faces uphill battles against Steel-types like Empoleon and Forretress (Shadow), alongside the bulky Clodsire.
