Best Quilladin Moveset and Stats in Pokémon GO
Once you've beaten Quilladin and captured it, you'll need to know the best Moveset and its stats to use it effectively in battle. To do so, we've broken down its stats below and its ideal move set to make it a powerhouse in battle.
Quilladin Stats:
- Max CP - 1943
- Attack - 146
- Defense - 156
- Stamina - 156
Best Quilladin Moveset:
- Focus Punch
- Wood Hammer
- Solar Beam
- Superpower
Focus Punch has excellent power and accuracy but will miss if the user is injured before it strikes. In contrast, Solar Beam has a power of 120 and 100% accuracy, but if it is exposed to sunlight (caused by moves like Sunny Day), it loses its charge after charging on turns one and two. Wood Hammer has a 33% recoil rate but can deal a heavy hit and a lot of damage. Finally, Superpower reduces the user's attack and defense by 1 to help you land critical blows.
