PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
Bruxish is often touted as the ugliest Pokémon. You may or may not agree with that, but we can all agree that Bruxish’s PvE performance is actually ugly. 🤢
It neither has a good moveset nor the stats required to be considered useful in raids. Skip this Pokémon. 🥱
⚔️ Raids
There are many, many better options in the Water-type department, and Bruxish doesn’t even remotely make the cut. 😶
🛡️ Gyms
Bruxish can surprise gym attackers with its hard-hitting and quick move combination of Confusion + Crunch, even though its defensive stats aren’t great. 😄
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Confusion
Aqua Tail
Psychic Fangs - Ultra League:
Confusion
Aqua Tail
Psychic Fangs
🔵 Great League
Bruxish, despite its low stats, possesses a fearsome moveset that can completely disrupt your opponent’s strategy. Confusion hits hard even without STAB, and with Psychic Fangs’ guaranteed Defense debuffs, Bruxish can turn into a serious threat.
Aqua Tail provides strong STAB damage, helping Bruxish take down Fighting and Poison Pokémon, Lapras, Quagsire, Wigglytuff, and Carbink. 💨
🟡 Ultra League
Bruxish repeats its Great League stunts in the Ultra League, managing to defeat notable Pokémon like Cobalion, Venusaur, Blastoise, Shadow Dragonite, and Virizion.
However, don’t rely on it too much, as it gets destroyed by most of the Ultra League meta. 🙃
🟣 Master League
Using Bruxish in the Master League is a complete disaster. Abort mission! 🚨
💥 The best PvP moves for Bruxish are:
➡ Confusion, Crunch, and Aqua Tail.
