PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Thunder Shock gets STAB and suits Dedenne's Electric-type role.
  • Tackle doesn't have any use and can't be Super Effective.
  • Discharge synergizes well with Dedenne's Fast Move and can be used frequently. 
  • Play Rough gets STAB but Dedenne has no Fairy-type Fast Move to compliment it. 
  • Parabolic Charge is not a strong move.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Thunder Shock gets STAB and generates energy faster to beat Tackle on defense, but neither deal impressive damage.
  • Discharge is more valuable on defense as a 3-bar move.
  • Play Rough can hit Ground-type attackers for neutral damage at least. 
  • Parabolic Charge is basically Discharge, but weaker.

PVE Overview

Dedenne is an cute addition to Pokemon Go, much adored by fans from other Pokemon titles. Unfortunately Dedenne lacks stats to be useful in the PvE meta, leaving it to be mostly a niche in the PvP scene.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Thunder Shock + Discharge and Play Rough

Thunder Shock offers very high energy generation, with low damage output despite benefiting from STAB. Tackle is a poor move and can't be Super Effective against anything. 

Dedenne only has two Charge Moves available, and therefore those are its only options. Discharge costs a moderate amount of energy and provides STAB Electric-type coverage, while Play Rough demands more energy and hits harder with Fairy-type coverage. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 3 / 5

Dedenne sports an interesting and relatively unique Electric/Fairy typing, which on paper isn't particularly synergistic. However, its typing does let it stand out among other Pokemon with similar typings, giving it a niche in specific PvP formats. Dedenne sports average bulk in this league, and heavily relies on its Charge Moves to deal damage. Because of the inefficiency in its moveset due to the lack of damage from its Fast Move and its cheapest Charge Move requiring 45 energy, it is more likely to deal overkill damage when finishing off an opponent, or come out slightly short of what's necessary to win a matchup. Therefore Dedenne will appreciate any advantage it can get, be it an aggressive or greedy farm, or shield or HP advantage. Due to the high energy cost of Play Rough, Dedenne tends to struggle heavily against any popular Ground or Grass Pokemon. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5

With a max CP of 2081 at level 50, Dedenne would appreciate more stats for Ultra League. 

Master League: 0 / 5

It's true, Fairy Pokemon tend to do well against Dragon-types which are very common in Master League. But stats still matter.
