Since it does less damage than any of the other Charge Moves by a minimum of 10 damage per second, it sits at 26.3.

Here is the full moveset available to the Unique Horn Pok\u00e9mon. Fast Moves Psycho CutLow Kick Charge Moves PsychicPlay RoughMegahornBody Slam Right off the bat, you can remove Body Slam form any potential moveset. Since it does less damage than any of the other Charge Moves by a minimum of 10 damage per second, it sits at 26.3. Megahorn provides decent coverage, but it loses out on the STAB bonus of 20 percent more damage, so you probably won\u2019t be picking it either.\u00a0 Based on that, your optimal moveset for both offensive and defensive builds would probably be Psycho Cut and Psychic, or Psycho Cut and Play Rough. You can easily substitute in Low Kick when needed or Play Rough depending on the matchup, but having 10 DPS from Psycho Cut and 38.6 from Psychic is solid.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/24183639\/the-crown-tundra-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318014"}],"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\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318014"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318014\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":318020,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318014\/revisions\/318020"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318014"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=318014"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=318014"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=318014"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=318014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
