Pokemon Go’s Fossil Cup is here, and everyone is using their best Water, Steel, and Rock-types to get big wins. Though there are many good choices for your team, one of the most used Pokemon is Ferrothorn, for its amazing Grass advantage in this league. Many players will employ Water and Rock types, only to be decimated by this amazing Unova monster. Since some of you also want to use or destroy it, here are the best moveset and counters for Pokemon Go’s Ferrothorn.
Ferrothron’s Best Moveset in Pokemon Go
Ferrothron’s best moveset in Pokemon Go is Metal Claw and Power Whip. This moveset has the highest total DPS and is also the best for PVP and Gym battles.
Only two fast strikes are available to Ferrothorn: Metal Claw and Bullet Seed. They both deal the same amount of damage per attack, but the speed of Metal Claw is better, making its DPS higher. They both get the Same Attack Type Bonus, so that won’t make a difference this time.
When a Pokemon of a particular kind uses a move from the same type, it receives a Same Type Attack Bonus. For instance, a Grass-type Pokemon would gain an attack increase if it employed a Grass-type move. This increases the damage dealt by the move by 20% and gives it a multiplier of 1.2.
When it comes to the strong attack, Ferrothorn has many choices. However, Power Whip does the best damage and can be cast quite fast. Flash Cannon is also a good choice but has a high energy requirement, making it hard to use this power.
Ferrothron’s Counters in Pokemon Go
Ferrothron is a Grass and Steel-type Pokemon, making it vulnerable to Fire and Fighting-type Pokemon.
The six best general companions to use against Ferrothron are:
- Reshiram
- Chandelure
- Volcarona
- Blaziken
- Moltres
- Flareon
Select attacks based on the kind that corresponds to their movesets. For example, Blaziken should employ Fire moves, and so on.
