How good is Larvesta in the current meta?
PvPoke rates Larvesta #520 of 1,154 in Great League, with a score of 74.2 out of 100. The usual moveset is Ember, Flame Wheel and Bug Buzz.
| League | PvPoke rank | Score | Usual moves |

| Little | #51 of 168 | 75.2 | Bug Bite, Bug Buzz, Flame Charge |
| Great | #520 of 1,154 | 74.2 | Ember, Flame Wheel, Bug Buzz |
These are two different questions. The IV ranks further up say which Larvesta to build; the meta rank says whether Larvesta is worth building at all. Ranks and movesets come from PvPoke, whose battle simulations produce them, and they move as the meta does.
How to find a good Larvesta
The search-string generator builds a string you can paste into the search bar in Pokémon GO. It matches the CP, HP and appraisal stars of the top spreads above — pre-evolutions included — so you can sweep a whole storage box in one go.
To check a Larvesta you already own, open the IV ranker and set its IVs. It ranks every stage of the evolution line at once and shows the meta rank beside the IV rank.
