Strategy & play
How Granbull plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Timid Tackle) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Colorless type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Snubbull; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Granbull
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Granbull is real?
Granbull is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set.
