Amoonguss PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Amoonguss is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon, but in PvP, its go-to tools are the Astonish and Foul Play combo. 🖤

A massive amount of stamina helps, but ultimately, it's more of a Pokémon that absorbs damage, reduces the opponent's HP, but doesn’t necessarily KO them. So, Amoonguss’ best role is as a defensive support Pokémon.

💥 The best PvP moveset for Amoonguss is Astonish, Foul Play, and Grass Knot.

🔵 Great League

  • Resisting Fairy, Fighting, and Water (alongside Grass and Electric)
  • 249 Stamina stat
  • A strong moveset

These factors allow Amoonguss to beat Azumarill, Annihilape, Dachsbun, Greninja, and Galarian Corsola. Its success mostly comes from tanking hits and switching out to an offensive Pokémon for the KO. 😁

🟡 Ultra League

  • Amoonguss beats Giratina Altered, Registeel, Cobalion, Ampharos, Feraligatr, Shadow Golurk, Skeledirge, Venusaur, Cresselia, Annihilape, and Greninja.
  • That’s solid core-breaking potential!
  • This makes Amoonguss a viable option in most Ultra League teams! 🍄 Impressive! 🤩

🟣 Master League

  • Amoonguss’ stats are too low to be viable in the Master League.
