Galvantula

The Electric Tarantula is here at last! Too bad it's in such an awkward position!

Galvantula's attack is too low to hit top-tier power on offense, and its movesets don't offer it much. It can fill in holes in your teams, but it's not exactly a top-tier choice for anything that it can do. On defense, it has some great moveset options thanks to a sudden stealth-change right before release (Charge Beam>Volt Switch, Thunder>Discharge), but it's too frail to be worth much.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Fury Cutter and Bug Buzz make Galvantula usable as a Bug Type attacker

• Volt Swith pairs with Discharge can go together for an Electric moveset, but this is not that strong.

• Energy Ball and Cross Poison are basically a hard "No".

• Lunge is worse in PvE.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Volt Switch is outstanding on defense.
• Fury Cutter is bad on defense.
• Discharge is a powerful 3-bar move, but its synergy isn't great with Volt Switch.
• Cross Poison is 3-bar and off-type coverage from Volt Switch, but it's weak and widely resisted.
• Bug Buzz is a STAB move, but it's resisted by basically anything that's going to switch into Galvantula.
• Energy Ball is easy to dodge, but can nail Rock-type attackers.
• Lunge shouldn't be used in PvE.

Volt Switch is usually preferred for its superior damage output, though Fury Cutter has a niche with Bug-type coverage.

Discharge is Galvantula's primary charge move, benefits from STAB, and provides solid Electric-type coverage. Lunge is what rocketed Galvantula from "neat" to "meta", giving solid damage output and a very powerful Attack debuff on your opponent.

Bug Buzz is generally worse than Lunge. Energy Ball can catch opposing mudbois off-guard, but isn't your best bet. Cross Poison kinda sucks, and has significantly less relevant coverage.
