Strategy Overview

  • Strong coverage with moves like High Jump Kick and Ice Beam make Pheromosa a threatening offensive Pokemon capable of dealing a lot of damage very quickly due to it naturally outspeeding the entire metagame, barring Choice Scarf users.
  • Pheromosa is one of the few Pokemon in the metagame capable of OHKOing Porygon2, easily putting pressure on it.
  • Pheromosa's fragility makes it vulnerable to priority attacks like Arcanine's Extreme Speed and Metagross's Bullet Punch while also making it take huge amounts of damage even from resisted attacks.
  • Furthermore, Pheromosa's high Speed and frailty makes it totally incapable of functioning inside Trick Room.
