      The following chart shows Tauros's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Tauros's movesets. You can change the weather and the opposing Pokémon to see how it affects the rankings.

      Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*). The table above provides information on different moves Tauros has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).

      Tauros in the meta

      Tauros in the meta

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Tauros is a standalone Pokémon with no evolutions with just average stats. It's difficult for Normal types to make a mark in the PvE meta unless they have high stats to carve a niche for themselves (Blissey) and/or powerful moves that let them do high neutral damage (Regigigas with Crush Grip).

      Unfortunately, Tauros does nothing in that regard and is just a collectible, although a valuable one due to its regional status and limited global availability.

      ⚔️ Raids

      Ideally, you shouldn't be using Normal types in Raid battles due to their inability to deal super-effective damage. Tauros has neither the stats nor the moves to be even functional in Tier 3 Raids.

      🛡️ Gyms

      Mediocre bulk doesn't do Tauros any favors. Just use Blissey, Snorlax, or Slaking instead. ✅

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Tauros has a high energy generation Fast Move in Tackle that syncs well with Horn Attack to spam hits and force the opponent to use shields. Add Trailblaze to the mix, and you can even get a guaranteed ATK buff on each use. That said, Tauros lacks raw power that would have helped it score KOs, and also has mediocre bulk, not helping its cause either.

      In fact, by the time you attempt to spam Trailblaze or Horn Attack, Tauros’ own HP cuts down to size, forcing you to switch or let it get KO’d for your next Pokémon. Not recommended for PvP usage. ❌

      💎 The best PvP moves for Tauros are Quick Attack, Horn Attack and Trailblaze.
