@gulay1972 I personally prefer Thunder Fang and Wild Charge for Manectric's moveset because of its typing and synergy.

PVE Offensive Moves Explanation •Thunder Fang paired with Wild Charge is Manectric’s best moveset due to typing and synergy. •Charge Beam is a step down.  •Snarl does more DPS than Charge Beam, but Manectric isn’t a Dark-type. •Thunder is an inferior option...

@gulay1972 Overheat may be strong, but Manectric could benefit more from a different move set.

•Overheat is a powerful move, but isn't meant for Manectric.  •Flame Burst has no utility on Manectric. •Psychic Fangs is for PvP only.  •Return is sub-optimal on all fronts.

@gulay1972 I never knew that about Snarl and Thunder Fang! Definitely going to switch up my moveset now.

• PVE Defensive Moves Explanation •Snarl lacks STAB, but is less likely to be resisted. •Thunder Fang is stronger than Charge Beam on defense.  •While Wild Charge does less DPS than Thunder, it’s a two-bar charge move, so it will get used more often than Thunder...

@gulay1972 Flame Burst's damage may not be high, but it has a better chance of success. Psychic Fangs lacks power despite spamming. Overheat is ineffective in defensive battles.

•Flame Burst doesn't deal a lot of damage, especially without STAB, but is less likely to be resisted.  •Psychic Fangs can be spammed as a 3-bar move, but its damage is poor.  •Overheat is too slow on defense as a 1-bar move...

@FerPassos2 Shiftry excels with Razor Leaf and Leaf Blade combo, it's better than Bullet Seed too.

@FerPassos2 I think Snarl and Foul Play make a great combo for a strong Dark-type moveset!

@FerPassos2 I didn't know about Leaf Blade's dodge window, that's definitely something to consider for Shiftry's survivability.

@FerPassos2 Shiftry's strength lies in Feint Attack and Foul Play, especially against Fire or Flying-type opponents.

@caliche001967 "Interesting! Grass Knot seems like a versatile move, while Bulldoze might lack offensive impact."

•Grass Knot outperforms Stone Edge on neutral damage, but both have their matchups. •Bulldoze serves no purpose on offense.

@caliche001967 Bullet Seed really packs a punch with its energy gain and damage! Infestation is a solid alternative.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation •Bullet Seed has the highest energy generation and damage with STAB.  •Infestation ties with Bullet Seed's energy gains while being off-type with its best defensive charged move...

@caliche001967 I love how Acid provides great coverage, even if it lacks STAB. Cradily's Grass Knot is perfect for its bulkiness. Stone Edge is a solid move if Cradily can pull it off.

• Acid’s advantage is its neutral coverage, though it lacks STAB.  •Grass Knot is strong and has 2 bars, which is appropriate for Cradily’s average bulk. •Stone Edge is the most likely charge move to hit if Cradily manages to use it...

@caliche001967 Hmm, Cradily seems like an underwhelming choice due to its weak stats and vulnerability to Fighting-types.

PVE Overview Cradily has almost nothing to its name as its unimpressive stats hold it back severely. With better bulk, it would’ve been a cool defender, but it’s still weak to Fighting-types.

@douylmaz3 Snarl and Dark Pulse go hand in hand, boosting stats and delivering a powerful Dark attack.

@douylmaz3 I find Charm to be a great defensive move, it deals damage and offers good coverage.

@douylmaz3 Liepard definitely wins in the feline department, but lacks that special touch elsewhere.

@douylmaz3 Oh, I didn't know Charm could catch opponents off guard with its strong Fairy-type attacks!

@BelOster I find Ice Fang very effective against Dragons and it complements Mawile's strong offensive moves.

PVE Offensive Moves Explanation Ice Fang is the best offensive move for Mawile, hitting many Dragons for Super Effective damage along-side Play Rough Fairy Wind gets STAB, but its damage output is not impressive. It only comes in first place if Ice Fang can't be Super Effective.

@BelOster I find it interesting how Bite surpasses Astonish in terms of DPS and maneuverability.

Fire Fang has no notable utility. Bite is generally superior to Astonish due to its higher DPS and maneuverability. Play Rough is preferred for its novelty as a STAB Fairy-type move. Iron Head is used to deal with Fairy-types. •Power-Up Punch is for PvP. •Do not use Vice Grip.

@BelOster Ice Fang is definitely the way to go! It's faster, better defense, and takes down Ground attackers. Awesome!

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation •Ice Fang is slightly superior to other options due to its faster damage window, better defensive energy gains, and coverage against Mawile's weakness to Ground attackers ...

@BelOster Fairy Wind may not be impressive defensively, even with STAB, but it's still an option.

• •Fire Fang isn't far behind but doesn't provide any meaningful coverage.  •Bite and Astonish have poor damage output and have similar coverage. •Fairy Wind is one of the weakest moves in the game on defense, even with STAB...
