Sobble is the first stage of the Galar Water-type starter line. It is a small Water-type Pokemon that evolves into Drizzile at Level 16 and eventually into Inteleon at Level 35.
Competitive Overview
Sobble is not usually a major competitive Pokemon in fully evolved formats, but it can be useful in early-game play, restricted formats or starter-focused runs because of its Speed, Water-type attacks and access to useful coverage as it evolves.
Sobble’s biggest strength is its evolution path into Inteleon, which gives the line strong special attacking potential. Its biggest issue is that Sobble itself is frail and usually needs to evolve before it can handle tougher battles consistently.
