The table above provides information on different moves Horsea has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).

    PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

    ⚔️ Raids

    Base forms of three-stage lines like Horsea should be avoided as choices for attacking raid bosses. Even considering its move coverage options, this little seahorse isn’t going to make a dent in that raid boss health bar.

    🛡️ Gyms

    Easily taken down by a double A battery or a blade of Grass.

    PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

    Recommended moves

    🧸 Little League

    If there’s one place base forms should be useful, it’s Little League. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for Horsea. As a weak pure Water type, your only hope of victory is facing an equally weak Pokémon that is doubly weak, such as Rhyhorn or Onix. Should you find yourself using Horsea, make sure to use its best moves: Water Gun, Bubble Beam, and Dragon Pulse for coverage.

    🔵 Great League

    Maxing out at a lowly 1194 CP makes Horsea far too weak to be viable in the Great League or higher leagues.

    🟡 Ultra League

    As mentioned above, there is no reason to use Horsea here.

    🟣 Master League

    It’s too cute to be destroyed like this. Do better, Trainer.
