Breloom
GrassFighting
Best attacking moveset: Force Palm and Grass Knot, worth 14.7 damage per second against a neutral target.
Best moveset
Breloom can learn 12 combinations. Force Palm with Grass Knot 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. Grass Knot is only obtainable with an Elite TM or from the event that gave it out, so the Breloom you catch today cannot learn it. The best set it can learn now is Force Palm and Dynamic Punch, worth 14.2 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.
