For anyone wanting to add Rillaboom to their team, it's important to know the best attacks it can use. These moves are critical, as a Pok\u00e9mon can learn fewer attacks than in a traditional Pok\u00e9mon game. If you're looking to optimize any Pok\u00e9mon, teaching it the best attacks is critical, and you also want to know where to use it. Not every Pok\u00e9mon is suitable for the Battle League for Pok\u00e9mon Go, but they might be useful elsewhere. Here's what you need to know about Rillaboom's best moveset. Rillaboom's best moveset in Pok\u00e9mon Go When using Rillaboom in Pok\u00e9mon Go, the best moveset it can learn is the fast move Razor Leaf and the charged moves Earth Power and Energy Ball. Although Rillaboom does have access to a Ground-type attack, it's an entirely Grass-type move, making it weak against Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Poison-type attacks. Of the fast moves Rillaboom can learn in Pok\u00e9mon Go, Razor Leaf is the best choice without any argument. The only other attack it can learn would be Scratch, which is a Normal-type attack, and it doesn't provide a lot of energy. Razor Leaf is a Grass-type attack that does far more damage than Scratch, and Rillaboom receives an attack bonus for using it as a Grass-type Pok\u00e9mon. Unfortunately, Razor Leaf doesn't provide much energy, the same amount as Scratch, but the damage increase makes it the best choice. Moving on to Rillaboom's charged moves, there are several more options than the fast moves. However, there's still not too many here. We expect to see these increase when Rillaboom receives its Community Day in the future, but for now, these are all the charged moves Rillaboom can learn in Pok\u00e9mon Go: Earth Power (Ground-type) Energy Ball (Grass-type) Grass Knot (Grass-type) There are only three charged moves for Rillaboom to pick from. Earth Power and Energy Ball are easily the best choices of these three. Although Rillaboom receives an attack bonus for using Grass-type attacks, Earth Power is a decisive Ground-type move you don't want to miss out on. It's a powerful attack against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel-types, with Fire and Poison-type Pok\u00e9mon countering Rillaboom. Is Rillaboom good in Pok\u00e9mon Go? With its initial release, Rillaboom is a midrange Pok\u00e9mon. It's not strong or weak, and it could be better. Thankfully, we predict it will become stronger the longer it remains in Pok\u00e9mon Go as all starter Pok\u00e9mon from the traditional games eventually receive their own Community Days, unlocking their Shiny forms. Expect to primarily use Rillaboom against Team Rocket and in PvE battles, but not in the Battle League. We don't know when Rillaboom will get this day, but when it does, it'll get a powerful attack that makes it a great choice. Hold onto Rillaboom for now; it's a worthwhile investment.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Rillaboom-in-Pokemon-Go.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1326971"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2139"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1326971"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1326971\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1327957,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1326971\/revisions\/1327957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1326980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1326971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1326971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1326971"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1326971"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1326971"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1326971"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1326971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
