PvE Analysis

Accelgor looks like a tough, no-nonsense kind of Pokemon, but unfortunately its looks are arguably the only thing this Pokemon has going for it. Various other Pokemon boast superior stats and movesets, and Bug typing in the meta isn't particularly valuable either. A dex filler at best, with maybe hopes for a better future if given a stronger moveset. 

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

Infestation + Bug BuzzBest
  • Infestation is the best fast move available, and gets STAB.
  • Acid is a poor move and lacks STAB. 
  • Bug Buzz is superior to Signal Beam, though the difference isn't huge. 
  • Focus Blast and Water Shuriken don't fit well here.
  • Acid Spray is meant for PvP. 

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

Water Shuriken + Bug BuzzBest
  • Water Shuriken is comparable to Infestation on defense and has counter-coverage against Rock and Fire Types, making it the best defensive move for Accelgor. 
  • Infestation gets STAB and has better stats for defense than Acid.
  • Bug Buzz hits harder than Signal Beam on defense, and the two have almost identical damage windows. 
  • Focus Blast is too slow for defense.
  • Acid Spray is meant for PvP. 

PvP Analysis

Infestation + Signal Beam and Focus Blast 

Infestation offers fast energy generation for Accelgor's slow charge moves, and benefits from STAB. Acid is a below average move for PvP. 

Signal Beam costs slightly less energy than Bug Buzz, which is significant enough due to the lack of a cheap charge move option energy-wise. Focus Blast is the only option available for coverage, and is quite valuable against the meta but demands a lot of energy. Acid Spray costs the least amount of energy, but is still moderately expensive, and doesn't deal much damage if unshielded. 

Great League0 / 5

Accelgor as a mono-Bug Pokemon lacks a quality moveset for PvP, with inefficiencies and high energy costs holding it back significantly. A high ATK stat and poor DEF stat also makes it very squishy for Great League. 

Ultra League0 / 5

Accelgor doesn't have much play for the reasons stated above, despite having the offensive Bug-type coverage that's quite valuable in this league.

Master League0 / 5

Bugs generally don't fight dragons and dinosaurs very well.
