Mega Delphox

FirePsychic

Best attacking moveset: Fire Spin and Blast Burn, worth 19.5 damage per second against a neutral target.

Best moveset

Mega Delphox can learn 21 combinations. Fire Spin with Blast Burn 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. Blast Burn is only obtainable with an Elite TM or from the event that gave it out, so the Mega Delphox you catch today cannot learn it. The best set it can learn now is Fire Spin and Psychic, worth 18.0 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.
