DragonGround
Best attacking moveset: Mud Shot and Dig, worth 7.7 damage per second against a neutral target.
Best moveset
Gabite can learn 6 combinations. Mud Shot with Dig 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.
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.
