Meet Sunkern, a fabulous Pokémon ready to dominate with its Grass typing! Sunkern is not a Pokémon anyone usually expects to see on the battlefield. In the LC tier (Little Cup), it's a fierce competitor. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokémon games. It is weak to Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Poison-typed attacks.

Sunkern is popular Physical Sweeper. It attempts 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.
♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Cut is a physical 50-base power Normal-type move that deals damage. ♦ Sludge Bomb is a physical 90-base power Poison-type move (30% chance to poison the target). ♦ Synthesis is a status move (heals your Sunkern by a weather-dependent amount). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Sunkern 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.
