PvE Analysis

Toucannon is a Pokemon that's known well for its colorful beak, and not much else. Of all the Pokemon that were added to the game during the first wave of Gen 7 Pokemon, Toucannon arguably got the worst movesets possible for any sort of role it could play in the meta. It's unfortunate that this Pokemon can't do much more than be a Dex entry. 

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

  • Peck is the only Fast Move recommended for offense, gets STAB, and suits a Flying-type role.
  • Bullet Seed has no use.
  • Rock Smash has no use.
  • Drill Peck is the only meaningful Charge Move, with typing synergy and STAB.
  • Consider Rock-type Pokemon instead of Rock Blast.
  • Consider Meteor Mash Metagross instead of Flash Cannon

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

  • Rock Smash is recommended on defense due to its coverage against Ice and Rock attackers.
  • Peck gets STAB, making it best against neutral attackers and good against common Fighting-types. 
  • Don't use Bullet Seed for defense. 
  • Drill Peck is arguably the overall better Charge Move for defense due to how common Fighting-types are.
  • Rock Blast can be used frequently to specifically hurt Ice-type attackers, but is also likely to be resisted by others.
  • Toucannon isn't very tanky, and might faint before it can use Flash Cannon

PvP Analysis

None of Toucannon's Fast Moves are considered ideal, but Bullet Seed is generally recommended for its fast energy generation, letting Toucannon spam its Charge Moves sooner. Peck is a subpar move that offers below average gains, with STAB helping to bring up its damage output to average at best. 

Drill Peck is Toucannon's main Charge Move, with a low energy cost and respectable STAB damage. Rock Blast offers useful Rock-type coverage and can be used frequently, but its damage output is lackluster. Flash Cannon demands too much energy to be consistently useful, though its coverage against Toucannon's weakness to Rock and Ice Pokemon might catch unsuspecting opponents off guard. 

Great League

Toucannon's name is an accurate representation of its performance as a glass cannon. Unfortunately it isn't viable in most formats due to its awkward moveset and poor bulk. Pidgeot and Noctowl should be considered if a Normal/Flying Pokemon is needed. 

Ultra League

Toucannon doesn't perform consistently well to be viable, with a handful of niche wins and a much longer list of losses against most of the meta.

"Sir we're under attack from scary dragons and dinosaurs!"

"Shut up and return fire!"

"But sir, our cannons have been knocked out..."
