Species: Growlithe Moveset: - Double-Edge / Body Slam - Dig - Toxic - Reflect
Physical Sweeper Growlithe (Retro)
Growlithe is an outstanding Physical Sweeper in single battles. It tries to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. The original meta-game back in the RBY days was ridiculous. Remember prior to Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 100-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Body Slam is a physical 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Dig is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target). ♦ Reflect is a status move (while active, your Growlithe's defense is doubled).

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.
