PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Counter should be paired with Dynamic Punch; this is Breloom’s preferred moveset.
  • Grass Knot is one of the best charged moves, and should be paired with Bullet Seed or even Counter for the best Rock-type coverage.
  • Bullet Seed can be paired with Seed Bomb; this moveset offers good Grass-type DPS.
  • Sludge Bomb offers no offensive utility.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Counter hits substantially harder than Bullet Seed, despite both being heavily resisted by Breloom’s counters.
  • Sludge Bomb has 2 bars, good neutral coverage, and an early dodge window, making it optimal for defense.
  • Dynamic Punch hits hard if not resisted, while Seed Bomb has more bars than Breloom’s other charge moves.
  • Grass Knot is a solid choice over Seed Bomb.

PVE Overview

Breloom has the odd honor of having the game’s highest Atk stat among Fighting-type Pokemon, and it is also blessed with the coveted Counter + Dynamic Punch moveset. Compared to the other top Fighting-types, Breloom is far more frail, which can hurt its performance due to the potential of energy being wasted.

As a Grass-type attacker, Breloom has been gifted a boon with the fantastic charge move Grass Knot. This puts Breloom at the top of the Grass-type DPS chart, but its frailty still holds it back.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Counter + Seed Bomb and Sludge Bomb or Dynamic Punch

Counter is one of the best fast moves for PvP, use it and abuse it. 

Seed Bomb is a relatively low cost charge move that can be used often to shield bait. While Grass Knot is a much more powerful move, Breloom might not be able to use it enough due to its fragility. Sludge Bomb gives Breloom an option for some coverage while Dynamic Punch makes it more of a specialist. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 2 / 5

Known as a glass cannon in PvE, Breloom still somewhat maintains that reputation in PvP. Access to a good moveset allows Breloom to perform decently well even with a lack of bulk, since in the eyes of Breloom, the best defense is a good offense. Who needs bulk when your damage is so high? In practicality though, Breloom's vulnerability to 6 typings means it must be used with caution, since it can quickly fall if an opponent exploits Breloom's squishyness. 

Ultra League: 3 / 5

A higher CP cap allows Breloom to flex its Attack stat more in Ultra League. Even though it doesn't have a lot of durability, Breloom's high offensive power makes short work of any opponent weak to its typing, including the Ground-types which give other Steel counters a lot more trouble. Obvious losses against the Psychic- and Ghost-type legendaries prevents Breloom from being a top meta pick. 

Master League: 1 / 5

Breloom doesn't have the stats to compete well in Master League. A win against Dialga in Ultra League becomes a loss in Master League, which is unfortunate for our mushroom-kangaroo friend.
