GULPIN
Gulpin (Japanese: ゴクリン Gokulin) is a half male and half female, Poison-type Pokémon. Evolution to Gulpin is one of the desired ones as the listings in its Moveset are useful but we will suggest to look into the weakness it has towards others.
Gulpin is a round, green Pokémon and has a black diamond marking on its back and a yellow feather-like ornament on its head. Its face consists of puckered lips and slanted eyes that are usually closed. It has two short arms that are the same shape as its lips. It swallows anything of its size whole since its stomach comprises most of its body. Its heart and brain are very small in comparison to its stomach. The unique stomach acid it has allows it to digest almost anything.

HOW MUCH USEFUL IS MY GULPIN?
Gulpin can run a variety of sets. While some are not as effective as others, many still deserve a mention. A support set can be run, utilizing moves such as Encore, Protect, Toxic, and Giga Drain. Gulpin has the moves to run a Curse set but is majorly outclassed by Grimer, which has a larger Attack stat and access to priority.
A Toxic and Venoshock set is viable; with good defences and STAB on the main move, it could work out in many situations. Gunk Shot and Poison Jab are both options, but Sludge Bomb outclasses both moves as it is stronger and more reliable. On the Stockpile set, running an Adamant nature with 12 Attack EVs and Fire Punch over Sludge Bomb is fine, allowing Gulpin to hit Steel-types such as Pawniard that will wall it otherwise.
Well, do you think that the Gulpin Evolution can suffice your needs in the game after going through its weakness, Moveset, stats, and more? If yes then you should run down to the Gulpin Evolution!
But if still, you think that you may find some better Moveset, stats, and less unhealthy weakness with the help of evolution other than of Gulpin, then Herald Journalism has information stocked for that purpose.
