What is a good competitive moveset for Anorith? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Diamond/Pearl Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Diamond/Pearl generation metagame.
Anorith is popular Rock and Bug-typed Pokemon. Anorith is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield. Anorith is weak to Rock, Steel, and Water-typed attacks.
Anorith is a notable Physical Sweeper. It's purpose is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Focus Sash helps protect Anorith from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Anorith's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Battle Armor, Anorith cannot be struck by a critical hit.
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/3 recoil). ♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ X-Scissor is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Bug-type move that deals a nice amount of damage. ♦ Rock Slide is a physical STAB-boosted 75-base power Rock-type move (30% chance to flinch the foes). ♦ Brick Break is a physical 75-base power Fighting-type move (destroys screens, even if the target is immune).

Movepool
Wondering what moves can Anorith learn? Here is the list of moves this Pokemon can learn in this selected generation. Sort and organize the learnset by move type, category, accuracy, and power. Bolded moves will gain the same-type attack bonus (STAB) if this Pokemon uses them.
Category Filter: Filter movelist to show only Physical, Special, or Status moves
Extended Move Details:Additional move information such as Risk versus Reward Statistics or Move power versus specific type-matchups
Damage Modifiers:
Type-matchup: Sort through and determine which moves would best work versus an opponent of the typing you select.
|
Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
