Physical Sweeper Pupitar (Retro)
Pupitar is a phenomenal Physical Sweeper. It is designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Don't forget back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Earthquake is a physical STAB-boosted 100-base power Ground-type move (power doubles on dig). ♦ Dig is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Headbutt is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to flinch the target). ♦ Rock Slide is a physical STAB-boosted 75-base power Rock-type move (30% chance to flinch the target). ♦ Ancient Power is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Rock-type move (10% chance to raise all stats by 1 stage (not acc/eva)). ♦ Detect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Pupitar this turn).

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.
