Pachirisu

The 2014 Pokemon World Champion is here! Unfortunately, Pokemon GO hasn’t given this behemoth its signature tools of destruction: Super Fang and Nuzzle. In fact, these moves aren’t even in the game yet! Until the meta-game ebbs in Pachirisu’s favor, all it can hope to be is the most adorable Pokedex entry.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Spark is strictly better than Volt Switch on offense.

• Thunderbolt is Pachirisu’s best move for its low energy cost and great damage. It only has 20 less power than Thunder, which costs double the energy.

• Thunder Punch doesn’t keep up with the other two in terms of damage.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Volt Switch is significantly better than Spark and one of the greatest damaging moves on defense.
• Thunderbolt splits the middle between Thunder Punch’s low energy cost and Thunder’s damage.
• Thunder is hard to react to, but costs too much to get good use out of.

Volt Switch is superior to Spark in both damage AND energy generation.

Thunder Punch is Pachirisu's cheapest option. Either Thunder or Thunderbolt can work as its secondary burst option
