PLACE IN THE META: Amoonguss is yet another Grass- and Poison-type addition to Pokémon GO. And, unfortunately, it won't be a good one. Its Stamina is good, but its Defense and Attack are low. And, looking at the all potential moves it could be given, it is lacking a S.T.A.B. Fast Attack. Unless, of course, it gets Hidden Power; In which case, it would only be boosted if you get a stroke of luck with its typing.

​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 Amoonguss:
  • Feint Attack
  • ​Hidden Power
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Amoonguss:
  • Energy Ball
  • Sludge Bomb
  • ​Solar Beam

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Amoonguss' movepool:
  • Clear Smog
  • ​Payback

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