Baxcalibur
DragonIce
Best attacking moveset: Ice Fang and Glaive Rush, worth 17.0 damage per second against a neutral target.
Best moveset
Baxcalibur can learn 12 combinations. Ice Fang with Glaive Rush does the most damage per second of them, at level 40 with a perfect attack stat. Same-type moves get the 1.2× bonus, and the cycle assumes the charged attack fires the moment it has the energy.
That set is legacy. Glaive Rush is only obtainable with an Elite TM or from the event that gave it out, so the Baxcalibur you catch today cannot learn it. The best set it can learn now is Dragon Breath and Avalanche, worth 14.1 damage per second.
Stats and moves come straight from the game's own data files. Every number on this page is a raid and gym number, not a PvP one.
