What is a good competitive moveset for Dewgong? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Gold/Silver 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 Gold/Silver generation metagame.
Dewgong is a remarkable Water and Ice-typed Pokemon. It's a normal sight to see Dewgong out in the 2nd generation battlefield. This Pokemon deserves to see more play in the meta. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Dewgong is weak to Electric, Fighting, Grass, and Rock-typed attacks.
Dewgong is a pretty decent Physical Sweeper. It was designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Remember before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Peck is a physical 35-base power Flying-type move that deals damage. ♦ Lick is a physical 20-base power Ghost-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Dewgong this turn).

Dewgong is a fabulous Special Sweeper. It is meant to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Don't forget before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Surf is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Water-type move that deals a nice amount of damage. ♦ Waterfall is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Water-type move that deals a decent amount of damage. ♦ Ice Beam is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target). ♦ Aurora Beam is a special STAB-boosted 65-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to lower the target's attack by 1 stage). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Dewgong this turn). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target).

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.
