Omastar
Fast
Charge
PvE Analysis
Omastar’s unique typing combined with access to the rare Rock Throw makes it a bulky counter to Ice, Flying, and Fire-type Pokemon. Unfortunately, both Rock Throw and Rock Slide, are Elite moves. Even then, Omastar's days in the relative spotlight are long over, so don't bother investing.
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
Water Gun + Hydro Pump | Best |
---|---|
Rock Throw* + Rock Slide* or Rock Blast | Best |
Omastar used to be one of a few relevant Pokemon with a double Rock moveset using the Elite Rock Throw*.
Of Omastar’s current fast moves, Water Gun is superior to Mud Shot in every way.
Rock Slide* is the best Rock-type charge move in the game, but it is an Elite move.
Rock Blast is Omastar’s next best Rock-type charge move option, pulling ahead of Ancient Power.
- Hydro Pump does well vs. Fire-types, but Rock moves are better if double weaknesses are in play.
Best PvE Defensive Moveset
Rock Throw*, Water Gun, or Mud Shot + Rock Blast, Rock Slide*, or Ancient Power | Best |
---|
Just as it is for attacking, Rock Throw* is Omastar’s best fast move and, unfortunately, an Elite move.
Water Gun and Mud Shot are both pretty awful on defense.
Rock Blast and Rock Slide* benefit from multiple bars and fairly early damage windows.
Ancient Power is strong for a 3-bar move, but its late damage window is easy to dodge.
- Hydro Pump is hard to react to, but Omastar will be wrecked by Grass attackers before it is used.
PvP Analysis
Mud Shot + Rock Slide* & Hydro Pump |
Mud Shot is Omastar's best Fast Move option thanks to its high Energy Generation. Meanwhile, Rock Slide has decent overall stats, while Hydro Pump has higher energy generation, but the potential to hit pretty hard.
