PLACE IN THE META: Looking at its stats, there is nothing special about Garbodor; It just looks like a worse version of Muk. While those stats did not necessarily mean it would be useless, studying Garbodor's move options from its main-series movepool does not give it much Poison-type potential in GO.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Garbodor:
  • Infestation
  • Smack Down
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Garbodor:
  • Gunk Shot
  • Sludge Bomb
  • Thunderbolt

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Garbodor's movepool:
  • Explosion
  • Venoshock

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Garbodor gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! Zorua and Zoroark are up next.
