Shiinotic
PvE Analysis
...why, Niantic? Why did you do this to poor Shiinotic? What did this poor Pokemon do to deserve such an Astonishingly bad moveset? Its stats were low to begin with, so why did you feel the need to drown it in the depths of the sea of mediocrity? I know that its not the most unique or popular Pokemon in the franchise, but did it really deserve this kind of treatment?
Honestly, it's because of the fact that Shiinotic really doesn't learn any moves in the main series that translated into good Fast Moves in go. BUT STILL; We mourn your loss, Shiinotic, and hope that a day comes when Niantic adds some new Fast Moves that you can utilize in the future.
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
Why? | Best |
---|
- Astonish is... well... um....
- Um.... Seed Bomb or Moonblast for a charged move?
- Don't use Giga Drain or Sludge Bomb.
Best PvE Defensive Moveset
Why? | Best |
---|
- Astonish is.... er.... it's....
- Seed Bomb offers the best odds of Shiinotic actually throwing out an attack, but Sludge Bomb also offers solid power and usability.
- Giga Drain and Moonblast should be ignored
PvP Analysis
Astonish + Seed Bomb and Moonblast | Best |
---|
Astonish is Shiinotic's only Fast Attack and ruins any viability it may potentially have. Seed Bomb and Moonblast are there for STAB.
Great League | 1 / 5 |
---|---|
Use Whimsicott if you want a Grass/Fairy Pokemon. Shiinotic has nothing going for it, although its stat product isn't terrible. | |
Ultra League | 0 / 5 |
Did you know that the Shiinotic line is the only line of mushroom-based Pokemon to not award bonus stardust on capture? This has been changed as of October 26, 2022. Shiinotic still sucks. | |
Master League | 0 / 5 |
To add insult to injury, the base catch rates for the other mushroom-based Pokemon are as follows: Paras: 40%, Shroomish: 50%, Foongus: 30% Morelull? A mere 20%, rivaling that of wild starter Pokemon. |
