Pokemon Go Ferrothorn best PvP moveset

Ferrothorn’s best moveset for PvP content in Pokemon Go is Bullet Seed as the Fast Move with Power Whip and Thunder as Charged Moves.

The Fast Move option should go to Bullet Seed, thanks to its superior energy generation compared to Metal Claw.

As for the Charged Move options, the first should go to Power Whip due to its solid damage and relatively low energy cost. On top of that it benefits from STAB.

The second Charged Move can go to a couple different options, but we recommend Thunder. First and foremost, Thunder is a great option to shut down Flying-types meant to counter Ferrothorn. It also boasts high damage, albeit at a high energy cost.

Alternatively, Acid Spray is a decent option to consider. While it lacks heavy damage, it has a 100% chance to lower an opponent’s Defense by two stages.

Pokemon Go Ferrothorn best Raid moveset

The best Raid moveset Ferrothorn can have in Pokemon Go is Bullet Seed as the Fast Move with Power Whip and Flash Cannon as the Charged Moves.

Giving Ferrothorn a Grass-type or Steel-type moveset is worthwhile, but we opted for Grass thanks to Bullet Seed’s superior energy generation.

That said, Metal Claw can still make for a good Fast Move option should trainers need to opt for a Steel-type moveset.
