Cursola

Cursola isn't a great Ghost Type. Its attack stat is pretty good, but it is cursed with a terrible moveset.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Astonish and Night Shade is Cursola's only really worthwhile moveset on offense.
• Power Gem, Tackle, and Rock Blast all have no real use on Cursola

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Astonish outpaces Tackles on Defense
• Rock Blast comes out frequently and has good coverage.
• Power Gem has decent power, but it has a long animation time and is easily dodgeable.
• Nightshade is an easy skip.

Astonish is a much, much better move than Tackle and also benefits from STAB.

Night Shade is Cursola's primary attack due to its moderately low cost and good DPE. Power Gem provides coverage against Pokemon that resist Ghost and has a decent DPE to boot. Rock Blast is Cursola's cheapest attack, but it has awful DPE; it remains a viable option as Cursola is a fragile Pokemon.
