THE POKEMON COMPANYPokemon Go Garbodor best PvP moveset
The best moveset players can teach Garbodor for PvP encounters consists of Infestation as a Fast Move and Body Slam as a Charged Move.
Neither of Garbodor’s Fast Moves benefits from STAB, so go with Infestation, as it deals more damage than Take Down and has a faster charge.
Even though Garbodor has two Poison-type Charged Moves, neither is good enough. Acid Spray might be cheap, but its damage is too poor, and Gunk Shot has outstanding damage, but it’s too expensive. Plus, both are too slow. Instead, go with Body Slam which is cheap, strong, and fast.
It’s worth noting that you can use Gunk Shot as a secondary Charged Move to deal great damage or go with Seed Bomb for coverage.
Pokemon Go Garbodor best Raid moveset
Garbodor’s best moveset for Raid battles includes Infestation as a Fast Move and Gunk Shot as a Charged Move.
As noted above, Infestation is the best Fast Move Garbodor has, so go with it. For the Charged Move, you can go with Gunk Shot to add extra damage to the already powerful move.
For a more defensive approach, switch Gunk Shot for Seed Bomb as it has good coverage against Ground-type moves. Plus, as a 3-bar move, it’s more accessible.
