Species: Anorith Item: Life Orb / Choice Band Ability: Battle Armor Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA) EVs: 4 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Moveset: - Cross Poison - Slash / Double-Edge - X-Scissor - Rock Slide
Physical Sweeper Anorith (Battle Armor)
Anorith is a decent Physical Sweeper. It is meant to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Choice Band will increase the damage of Anorith's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. 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.
♦ Cross Poison is a physical 70-base power Poison-type move (high critical hit ratio. 10% chance to poison). ♦ Slash is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (high critical hit ratio). ♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/3 recoil). ♦ X-Scissor is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Bug-type move that deals a large amount of damage. ♦ Rock Slide is a physical STAB-boosted 75-base power Rock-type move (30% chance to flinch the foes).

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.
