Orbeetle

Best moveset

Orbeetle can learn 9 combinations. Confusion with Psychic 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.

Best moveset against each type

Orbeetle does not have one best moveset, it has 3. Which one wins depends on what you are attacking, because a move only gets its bonus against something weak to it. Best against Fighting, Poison, Grass.

Same maths as the headline number, run once per defending type: level 40, perfect attack IV, and the target's own type taken into account. Sorted by damage, so the top of this table is what Orbeetle is actually for.
