Empoleon holds a 0.94% usage rate at rank 83 in singles, placing it as an occasional pick rather than a metagame staple. Its typing grants strong resistances to Ice and Steel hits and full immunity to Poison, but the double weaknesses to Ground and Fighting, plus the Electric weakness, leave it vulnerable against common wallbreakers.
Playstyle：In singles Competitive leads at 87.4%, turning stat drops into Special Attack boosts for counterpunching. The core moveset runs Ice Beam, Surf, Vacuum Wave, and Flash Cannon, covering Ice, Water, Fighting, and Steel respectively, with Yawn and Stealth Rock as utility options. Shuca Berry dominates items at 77.8%, patching the Ground weakness; Sitrus Berry (11.3%) and Leftovers (7.8%) offer recovery instead.
Doubles usage sits at 0.15% and rank 164, putting Empoleon on the very fringe of the format. The 0.25x resistances to Ice and Steel and Poison immunity give it switch-in value, yet the Ground and Fighting double weaknesses are punished more easily in a format packed with heavy hitters.
Playstyle：Doubles runs Competitive nearly exclusively at 98.1%. Life Orb leads items at 30.9% for offense, while Sitrus Berry (16.4%) and Leftovers (15.1%) provide recovery. Flash Cannon (22.2%), Ice Beam (16.7%), Protect (16.1%), Surf (11.3%), and Hydro Pump (10.7%) form the offensive core, with Icy Wind and other options filling small utility slots.
